Booth, F.W., Roberts, C.K., Thyfault, J.P., Ruegsegger, G.N., & Toedebusch, R.G. (2017). Role of inactivity in chronic diseases: evolutionary insight and pathophysiological mechanisms. Physiological reviews 97 (pp. 1351–1402)

Overall, physical inactivity is an underappreciated cause of almost all chronic diseases/conditions, whose outcome increases mortality and decreases healthspan. Remarkably, physical inactivity speeds biological aging, and physical inactivity gene identification will be a future challenge to help decrease inactivity-induced chronic disease and improve the health and well-being of our society.
