If these studies were not behind paywalls people might better understand what they mean.
They did not establish causality in the study and they also said that inactivity might be a symptom of poor mental health. The people who had less mental health days might not be physically ill, but rather, socially ill. If you read the full study and some of the interesting demographics you will see what I mean.
It really tells us nothing but puts more stigma on people who are ill making it seem like it is their fault they are sick.
