The long-term effects of sustained physical inactivity can lead to a host of health complications, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, muscle atrophy, and poor mental health. Chronic inactivity may also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. Furthermore, it can significantly impair quality of life, leading to limitations in daily activities and reduced social engagement, placing individuals at higher risk for cognitive decline and disability as they age.
