![]() ![]() Physical inactivity is associated with higher healthcare costs in the general population in the short-term. No study included healthcare costs for physical-activity-related injuries. Only one study included costs of healthcare resources used in prolonged life when physical-inactivity-related diseases were averted, showing net higher healthcare costs. Overall, studies showed that physical inactivity is related to higher healthcare costs. Included studies showed substantial variation in the assessment methods of physical activity and in type of costs included. Of the 264 records identified, 25 were included in this review. Studies were required to report sufficient information to calculate the percentage of total healthcare costs potentially attributable to physical inactivity. MethodsĪ systematic review was conducted, including records reporting on physical (in)activity in relation to healthcare costs for a general population. Moreover, the association between physical inactivity and healthcare costs may both be negatively and positively impacted by increased physical activity. ![]() ![]() 2023.This systematic review aims to describe the relation between physical inactivity and healthcare costs, by taking into account healthcare costs of physical-inactivity-related diseases (common practice), including physical-activity-related injuries (new) and costs in life-years gained due to avoiding diseases (new), whenever available.

There are, however, lacunae in the available data for many activities, between genders, across age groups and in various physiological states. The present compilation has been based on the need to provide data on adults for a wide spectrum of human activity. The present compilation is largely in agreement with the 1985 compilation, for activities that are common to both compilations. The compilation provides PARs for an expanded range of activities that include general personal activities, transport, domestic chores, occupational activities, sports and other recreational activities for men and women, separately, where available. Energy costs were expressed as physical activity ratio (PAR) the energy cost of the activity divided by either the measured or predicted basal metabolic rate (BMR). The majority of the data prior to 1955 were obtained using an earlier compilation of Passmore and Durnin. Second, to compile existing data on the energy costs of physical activities for an updated annexure of the current Expert Consultation on Energy and Protein Requirements.Įlectronic and manual search of the literature (predominantly English) to obtain published data on the energy costs of physical activities. There were two objectives: first, to review the existing data on energy costs of specified activities in the light of the recommendations made by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization/United Nations University (FAO/WHO/UNU) Expert Consultation of 1985. ![]()
