Effect of physical inactivity on major non-communicable diseases worldwide: an analysis of burden of disease and life expectancy

TL;DR: 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.

Projections of Global Mortality and Burden of Disease from 2002 to 2030

TL;DR: These projections represent a set of three visions of the future for population health, based on certain explicit assumptions, which enable us to appreciate better the implications for health and health policy of currently observed trends, and the likely impact of fairly certain future trends.
