Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals greatest health gains occur when transitioning from inactivity to low physical activity, indicating major benefits from modest exercise.

Key Points

Quantify and compare the protective associations between physical activity levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the impact of physical activity on cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality (including myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Harmonized physical activity data across evaluated studies using a single continuous metric.
Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus showed generally similar protective effect sizes across physical activity levels.
The steepest risk reduction and greatest overall health gains occurred when transitioning from total physical inactivity to low levels of activity.
