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:

TL;DR: Low levels of VPA, which were more pronounced in women, support the monitoring and promotion of V PA alongside overall physical activity and should also be promoted towards gains in vigorous-intensity and total physical activity in this setting.
