Disease prevention—should we target obesity or sedentary lifestyle?
Obesity is a major health challenge that is associated with chronic disease. The authors of this Perspectives article put forward a model that places sedentary behavior and calorie overload upstream of numerous disease processes. The authors highlight the importance of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness, which are possibly stronger predictors of risk than traditional factors, such as obesity.
