Lack of physical activity increases risk of dying from coronavirus
Lack of exercise is associated with a higher risk, in case of Covid-19, of developing a more severe form of the disease and of dying as a result, according to a study conducted with almost 50,000 patients published this Wednesday.
People who had been physically inactive for at least two years before the pandemic were more likely to be hospitalized, need intensive care, and die from the novel coronavirus disease compared to patients who maintained physical activity, according to the study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Among the risk factors for severe disease, only advanced age and a history of organ transplantation outweigh physical inactivity, according to researchers.
