The study shows a strong connection between physical activity levels and the risk of chronic diseases, urging health systems to better survey patients and improve their wellness support.
Among the 7,000 patient responses, those exercising moderately to vigorously for at least 150 minutes a week exhibited significantly lower risks of over 19 chronic conditions.
Carr argues that the current healthcare environment lacks incentives for doctors to promote physical activity among patients, highlighting a gap in patient support for those at risk of chronic diseases.
This study indicates that the majority of U.S. hospitals neglect to assess physical activity in patients, emphasizing a need for better integration of wellness inquiries in patient evaluations.
