Booth et al, 22 Therefore, given these facts, F.W. Booth et al, 22 coined the phrase: Sedentary Death Syndrome (SeDS) to categorize the emerging entity of sedentary lifestyle-mediated disorders that ultimately result in increased mortality. Weak skeletal muscles, low bone density, hyperglycemia, glucosuria, low serum, HDL, obesity, low physical endurance, and resting tachycardia are a set or group of symptoms that together characterize SeDS. Our society is at war against a common enemy: MODERN CHRONIC DISEASE CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITION This is a condition that is slow in its progress and long in its continuance (Dorland s, 1974). For the individual: reduced well-being, life quality and mobility For the public: increased health care costs F.W. Booth et al, 22 1
21: The evidence-based consensus statement from the Dose-Response Issues Concerning Physical Health: Regular physical activity is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality, fatal and nonfatal total cardiovascular disease, and coronary heart disease. It is also associated with a reduction in the incidence of obesity and type II diabetes mellitus, and improvement in the metabolic control of individuals with established type II diabetes. Furthermore, physical activity is associated with a reduction in the incidence of colon cancer and osteoporosis. Further benefits of regular physical activity include improved physical function and independent living in the elderly. Individuals with high levels of physical activity are less likely than those with lower levels to develop depressive illness. (Kesaniemi et al, 21). Thus, it is clear from multiple consensus statements that sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of chronic health conditions. F.W. Booth et al, 22 F.W.

Environmental Change Underlying the Increased Incidence of CHS s Most diseases, and in particular chronic diseases, are determined by the dynamic interaction of multiple genes with the environment. M.V.Chakravarthy, et al, 22 The modern human genome has a highly conserved ability to adapt to extreme amounts of energy expenditure Our genes expect the body to be in a physically active state if they are to function normally chronic inactivity is physiologically abnormal In evolutionary terms, inactivity elicits an abnormal phenotypic expression of our genes Evidence for this believe comes from observations that most chronic diseases are not as prevalent in society where physical work is a large part of daily life. F.Booth et al 2 5
Normal functioning of of animals genes is within an environment of physical activity; caging produces abnormal gene expression, which predisposes animals to modern chronic diseases.
