    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nearly 1.8 billion adults are at risk of cancer, stroke, dementia and diabetes due to insufficient exercise, according to a new report released on Wednesday.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) said physical inactivity has increased globally by five percentage points from 2010 to 2022, yet around 31% of adults still don’t meet exercise guidelines.

    The study, published in The Lancet Global Health journal, pointed out that 34% of women and 29% of men are inactive.

    Krech said the risk of non-communicable diseases can be reduced “by making physical activity accessible, affordable, and enjoyable.”

    Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director-general, emphasized that the new findings underscore a missed opportunity to reduce cancer, heart disease, and enhance mental well-being through increased physical activity.

    High-income countries are slightly reducing inactivity rates but are still off track, the report said.
