Public health benefits of strategies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions: urban land transport

TL;DR: Climate change mitigation in transport should benefit public health substantially and policies to increase the acceptability, appeal, and safety of active urban travel, and discourage travel in private motor vehicles would provide larger health benefits than would policies that focus solely on lower-emission motor vehicles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedentary behaviour and risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and incident type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and dose response meta-analysis

TL;DR: Independent of PA, total sitting and TV viewing time are associated with greater risk for several major chronic disease outcomes, and for all-cause and CVD mortality, a threshold of 6–8 h/day of total Sitting and 3–4 h / day of TV viewing was identified, above which the risk is increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-vigorous physical activity and all-cause mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

TL;DR: The largest benefit was found from moving from no activity to low level of activity, but even at high levels of activity benefits accrue from additional activity, as well as in studies that looked at walking alone.
