Heat-Driven Inactivity Could Claim 700,000 Lives Annually by 2050, Lancet Study Projects

The Lancet Global Health: Modelling suggests climate change could drive millions globally into physical inactivity by 2050 and be linked to an estimated half a million premature deaths

Rising temperatures due to climate change could drive millions more adults globally into physical inactivity by 2050, being linked to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and billions of dollars in lost productivity, suggests a modelling study published in The Lancet Global Health journal.

Rising global temperatures ‘eroding’ the world’s ability to exercise

Declining physical activity could lead to over half a million excess deaths a year by 2050, researchers say

Rising heat could drive surge in global inactivity, study warns

Analysing data from 156 countries, researchers say each additional month of extreme heat could significantly increase global inactivity levels, especially in lower-income regions.

The world is getting hotter and the growing heat can impact one's ability to be physically active.

Physical Inactivity Due To Heat May Cause Up To 700,000 Deaths Annually By 2050, Study Finds

A study finds rising temperatures may cause up to 700,000 deaths and $3.68bn productivity losses annually by 2050 due to increased physical inactivity.

Climate change may make millions too inactive to exercise by 2050

Climate Change Impact on Physical Activities: Climate change may push millions towards physical inactivity by 2050, leading to up to 700,000 extra deaths annually and billions in economic losses, a Lancet study finds.
