Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review examined 15 long-term studies involving over 288,000 adults to explore how regular physical activity over at least five years influences the risk of obesity, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, and dementia, generally finding positive effects.
  • The findings suggest that engaging in physical activity consistently can help prevent or reduce the development of these noncommunicable diseases, although there is a limited number of long-term studies focusing specifically on incidence rates.
  • Overall, the review highlights the potential health benefits of sustained physical activity but also points to a need for more extensive long-term research in this area.
