Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen:
Why: As low physical activity levels associate with ill health and mortality, continuous monitoring of physical activity levels is needed to inform policy. However, there are still uncertainties on how physical activity and weight at population level associate over time, and how physical activity and sedentary time collectively influence premature death. Findings: About 70% of all adults met current lower-limit physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes per week of moderate and vigorous physical activity. Population levels of physical activity appears insufficient to prevent weight gain but rather it appears the association is reverse, population weight gain leads to physical activity declines. Physical activity, at any intensity, associates with a substantial lower mortality risk and meeting current lower-limit guidelines ameliorates the harmful effect of high sedentary time on premature death. Importance: This thesis highlights the public health gain of increasing population levels of physical activity, and of preventing population weight gain to avoid physical activity declines.
