Abstract in brief

This study compares how effective exercise and drug treatments are at reducing mortality across different health conditions by analyzing data from multiple trials.
It found that in some cases, like preventing stroke or prediabetes, exercise can be as effective or even more effective than drugs, but in others, like heart failure, drugs like diuretics may be better.
Overall, the evidence suggests that exercise could be a viable alternative to medication for certain conditions, showing similar mortality benefits in some cases.]
