And additionally, anybody with a disease at baseline was excluded.

So they tried their best to sort of take care of this sick user or healthy user bias, which I think strengthens a lot of the outcomes in the study.

Yeah.

And I think the main thing too, then to also mention before you get into the risk reduction was, and this was, I think the most unique aspect of the study is they calculated something called the health equivalence ratio.

So basically what they wanted to know in this study was how many minutes of light activity or vigorous activity do you need to do to get the equivalent amount of risk reduction to a minute of vigorous intensity activity?

So it was this, they called it the health equivalence ratio in the study.

They were basically looking at, you know,

Does this one to two going back to the one to two rule that we talked about?

Does this one to two rule hold up?

Do you need if you do twice as much moderate activity does give you the same disease reduction as a moderate minute of vigorous?

Or is there like the skewed ratio?

Is there more vigorous activity?

You know, does that give you more risk reduction compared to moderate?

minute of, you know, light or moderate activity.

So when we're talking about it, you know, a lot of these studies just look at risk reduction at X level of physical activity.

One of my favorite parts of this study was this health equivalence ratio thing that we're going to talk about because it really sheds some light on the impact of vigorous activity.

Yeah.

And I think maybe that's something we talk about later, but I just think that this could and probably should change the way these wearable device companies program their algorithms and program the way they gamify physical activity almost to enhance the rewarding aspects of the activity that you're doing.

Yeah, some of these numbers were kind of incredible in the study.

And sometimes you look at them, you're like, does this like make any sense?
