Sedentary behavior is itself a disease, carrying mortality risks comparable to—or even exceeding—those associated with smoking, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
Having low fitness raises the risk of mortality by more than 400% compared to having an “elite” level of fitness. Even average and below-average levels of fitness are associated with higher mortality.
For comparison—smoking, diabetes, and coronary artery disease carry a 29–41% greater mortality risk compared to not having these diseases.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is not just “nice to have.”
It’s one of the most powerful predictors of longevity—stronger than many traditional risk factors.
And it’s modifiable. The message is clear - get moving.
Having a low VO2 max is as deadly as smoking—or worse
People in the bottom 25% for VO2 max face mortality risks matching or exceeding smokers, diabetics, and hypertensive patients
Meanwhile, elite-level athletes in the top 2.3% of VO2 max enjoy an 80% reduction in all-cause mortality compared to those at the low end
Let's call it what it is: Physical inactivity is a disease

Wow, @KTLA @KTLAMorningNews love seeing the world through your reports, but please ask @FrankBuckleyTV to report the news and not make it with his opinion about @KFIAM640
What? @DebraMark1 the reason for the bone breaks is because #Vegans are more active and not sitting still eating meat. #vegansrule #plantbased
We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads #RIPNeil #RushFamily
For those of us who love RUSH we have a special place for Neil. He was an amazing drummer and wrote the lyrics (which are AMAZING). When musicians die that have a special place in your life, heart, soul; it's those names... facebook.com/djjayb/posts/10…
