For the least active adults, +5 minutes\/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with preventing ~6% of deaths; applying a similar increase broadly (excluding the most active) could prevent ~10%. Reducing sedentary time by 30 minutes\/day was associated with preventing ~3% (high-risk) to ~7% (population) of deaths (with smaller\u2014but still meaningful\u2014effects in UK Biobank). &amp;nbsp; \ud83c\udfaf Practical takeaway: \u201c5 minutes more exercise, 30 minutes less sitting.\u201d Small hinges, big doors. &amp;nbsp; (Ekelund et al., The Lancet, 2026) ","author_name":"Dr. RR Baliga's 'Podkast for the Kurious Doc'.
