TLDR
In this article, the authors quantify the effect of physical inactivity on these major non-communicable diseases by estimating how much disease could be averted if inactive people were to become active and to estimate gain in life expectancy at the population level.About:

Global health agenda on non-communicable diseases: has WHO set a smart goal for physical activity?
TL;DR: To reduce premature mortality, policies should focus on getting fully inactive people to do a little physical activity rather than strive for the entire population to meet current physical activity recommendations, Philipe de Souto Barreto argues.

TL;DR: In this general Caucasian population of older adults higher levels especially of vigorous PA were associated with lower arterial stiffness, supporting the importance of PA for improving cardiovascular health in elderly people.

TL;DR: This paper is the first to systematically describe the development of research on PA and public health, and the key publications include fundamental ideas that remain citable over time, but notable research and dissemination gaps exist and should be addressed.

Awareness of physical activity in healthy middle-aged adults: a cross-sectional study of associations with sociodemographic, biological, behavioural, and psychological factors
Job G. Godino,Clare Watkinson,Kirsten Corder,Stephen Sutton,Simon J. Griffin,Esther M. F. van Sluijs +5 more
TL;DR: Overestimators have more favourable health characteristics than those who are realistic about their inactivity, and their psychological characteristics suggest that they are less likely to change their behaviour.

Effects of the built environment on physical activity: a systematic review of longitudinal studies taking sex/gender into account
Antonina Tcymbal,Yolanda Demetriou,Anne Kelso,Laura Wolbring,Kathrin Wunsch,Hagen Wäsche,Alexander Woll,Anne K. Reimers +7 more
TL;DR: The data synthesis revealed that the majority of reviewed studies found the built environment to be a determinant of PA behavior for both, males and females, in a similar way.

TL;DR: Abnormal lipids, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, abdominal obesity, psychosocial factors, consumption of fruits, vegetables, and alcohol, and regular physical activity account for most of the risk of myocardial infarction worldwide in both sexes and at all ages in all regions.

TL;DR: From an analysis of the effect of obesity on longevity, it is concluded that the steady rise in life expectancy during the past two centuries may soon come to an end.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies using MEDLINE (1966 to December 31, 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to December 30, 2008), which reported associations of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness with CHD events, CVD events, or all-cause mortality in healthy participants.
