Use of the prevented fraction for the population to determine deaths averted by existing prevalence of physical activity
a descriptive study
Disease and mortality burdens of unhealthy lifestyle behaviours are often reported. In contrast, the positive narrative around the burdens that an existing behaviour have averted is rarely acknowledged. The authors aimed to estimate the prevented fraction for the population (PFP) for premature mortality averted by physical activity on a global scale.
