Physical activity reduces the risk of 19 chronic diseases

    A new study from Iowa State University (USA) has highlighted the link between physical activity and chronic disease.

    .

    This was reported by EurekAlert.

    The study examined the responses of more than 7,000 patients at the University of Iowa Medical Center who indicated their level of physical activity on a questionnaire. Patients were asked two questions, which they answered on a tablet:

    • On average, how many days a week do you engage in moderate to vigorous exercise (such as brisk walking)? (0-7 days);
    • On average, how many minutes do you exercise at this level?

    Based on patient responses to the questionnaire, the researchers found that:

    • Those who reported the highest level of physical activity, meaning at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise per week, had a statistically significantly lower risk of 19 chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes ;
    • The findings also suggest that the least active patients, those who reported doing little to no exercise during the week, had an increased risk of developing chronic diseases.

    While the link between physical activity and reduced risk of chronic disease is known, the researchers say this study highlights the importance of asking patients about their level of physical activity.

    Scientists propose making such surveys available to all patients.

    This two-question survey typically takes the patient less than 30 seconds, so it does not interfere with the patient’s visit to the doctor. But it can tell us a lot about the patient’s overall health, the researchers note.
