Moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking at an average speed of 5 km/h for an additional five minutes per day, is associated with a 10% reduction in all-cause mortality among most adults, according to a study published in The Lancet. The research also found that reducing sedentary time by 30 minutes per day was associated with an estimated 7% reduction in all-cause mortality if adopted by most adults. The study analyzed data from more than 135,000 adults from Norway, Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with an average follow-up of eight years.
