Abstract: In 1994, the epidemiologist Jerry Morris described physical activity as the “best buy” in public health. In 2012, The Lancet published its first Series on physical activity, which showed an estimated 5·3 million deaths per year are due to inactivity; the Series concluded that physical inactivity is as important a modifiable risk factor for chronic diseases as obesity and tobacco. Today, we publish our second Series, which provides an update of the field since 2012 and an analysis of the latest science of physical activity and health, with a strong focus on low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The urgency for global action is strengthened by new evidence in this 2016 Series about the effect of physical inactivity on dementia, the large health-care costs of inactivity, the additional health risks from excessive sitting, and, most importantly, the observation that physical activity is not improving worldwide, despite an increased number of countries having a national physical activity policy or plan. Action is possible because evidence of effective interventions is growing. But there has been an overall failure to scale up effective interventions at the population level.
