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:

Environment, lifestyle, and Parkinson's disease: Implications for prevention in the next decade.
TL;DR: A number of low‐risk and potentially high‐yield recommendations for lifestyle modification could be made to minimize the individual and societal burdens of Parkinson's disease, including dietary modifications, increasing physical activity, and head injury avoidance.

Mediators of physical activity behaviour change interventions among adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: The effect sizes seen in physical activity interventions are mediated by current theories, but the effects are very small and no one construct/theory appears to be a critical driver of the mediated effect compared to any other.

Prevalence and trends of overweight and obesity in older adults from 10 European countries from 2005 to 2013.
TL;DR: Based on the data currently available for Europe, the prevalence of obesity in European older adults has already reached epidemic proportions, which reinforces the need for the development of effective healthy lifestyle programs.

Non-Exercise Physical Activity and Survival: English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
TL;DR: There was a dose-response association between time-varying physical activity and mortality, with the greatest survival benefit in vigorously active participants, although the greatest benefits are observed for more vigorous activity.

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.
