About The Study: In this study using accelerometer data from 81,000 UK Biobank participants, those with higher physical activity levels had lower risks of hospitalization across a broad range of health conditions. These findings suggest that aiming to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity by 20 minutes per day may be a useful nonpharmaceutical intervention to reduce health care burdens and improve quality of life.
