# Global Impact

Sedentary lifestyles pose a massive health crisis, causing **3.2 million deaths annually** (WHO) and increasing the risk of heart disease by **147%** (American Heart Association) and type 2 diabetes by **90%** (American Journal of Preventive Medicine). Back pain affects **70 million** people in China (NINDS) and costs the U.S. **$134 billion** per year in economic losses. Additionally, the financial burden of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. reaches **$327 billion** annually (American Diabetes Association).
