Article Synopsis
- Physical inactivity is linked to increased healthcare costs, and this study examined its impact using both self-reported and device-measured physical activity data from over 2,000 participants in Germany.
- The research found that individuals reporting no sports activity had similar healthcare costs as those with high activity levels according to self-reports, but those with very low monitored physical activity incurred significantly higher costs compared to those with very high activity.
- The conclusion suggests that using device measurements provides a clearer association with healthcare costs compared to self-reported data, highlighting the need for larger studies to confirm these findings.
