Increasing physical activity brings health benefits across age groups and reduces mortality from  non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like heart disease and stroke, diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease. World leaders at the UN high-level meeting on NCDs in New York, 19-20 September 2011, will address this issue with a new international agenda on NCDs.
