Article Synopsis
- - Insufficient physical activity (PA) is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases and has significant economic impacts on healthcare systems; this study analyzed the cost differences between varying levels of PA in Germany.
- - Data was collected from over 157,000 participants using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire to assess their PA levels and categorize them as sufficient or insufficient, with costs calculated from self-reported health resource use and productivity losses.
- - Findings showed that individuals with insufficient PA incurred higher average annual healthcare costs and that these cost differences were more pronounced in older adults, particularly concerning leisure activities, suggesting different cost implications based on the type of PA.
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed form of cancer and accounts for approximately 1.9 million cancer cases each year (10% of all new cancer cases globally). Incidence strongly increases with age and has been traditionally highest in Western, affluent countries, but it is rapidly increasing in many less developed countries and in younger generations in both developed and developing countries.
