Health outcomes associated with reallocations of time between sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity: a systematic scoping review of isotemporal substitution studies

TL;DR: It seems that reallocations of sedentary time to LPA or MVPA are associated with significant reduction in mortality risk, and the strongest association with health outcomes is observed when time is reallocated from sedentary behaviour to MVPA.

European Society of Cardiology: cardiovascular disease statistics 2021.

TL;DR: Risk factors and unhealthy behaviours are potentially reversible, and this provides a huge opportunity to address the health inequalities across ESC member countries that are highlighted in this report, but present evidence suggests that most of the WHO NCD targets for 2025 are unlikely to be met.
