''Higher level of habitual physical activity is associated with a 31% risk reduction (hazard ratio 0.69, 95% CI 0.61–0.78, 6 studies,
N = 557,487 individuals) of community-acquired infectious disease and 37% risk reduction (hazard ratio 0.64, 95% CI 0.59–0.70, 4 studies,
N = 422,813 individuals) of infectious disease mortality.''(mm. lisääntyneiden cd4 solujen vuoks)
it has been hypothesised that physically active people are likely to be more resilient to infection through better immunosurveillance against pathogens

The pooled
effect showed a statistically significant 31% risk reduction (hazard ratio
0.69 95% CI [0.61–0.78],
I2 = 20.4%) for community-acquired
infectious disease for people engaging in levels of regular physical activity equal or over the
recommended 150 min per week compared to those below that level (Fig.
2a) based on a total sample of
N = 557,487 individuals. T
he risk of infectious disease mortality (mostly pneumonia) was reduced by 37% (HR 0.64 95% CI [0.59–0.70],
I2 = 40.0%) for individuals who met the recommended physical activity guidelines compared to individuals who did not meet the guidelines (Fig.
2b) based on a total sample of
N = 422,813 individuals.
Engaging regularly in moderate to vigorous
physical activity could strengthen the effect of vaccination campaigns
Background Regular physical activity is the prime modality for the prevention of numerous non-communicable diseases and has also been advocated for resilience against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. However, there is currently no systematic and quantitative evidence synthesis of the...
