Does this control for the long-term effects of closing gyms and rec centers and having people live more sedentary lives to avoid COVID (which they got anyway)?

I'm surprised that exercise is mentioned all the time for heart health - but the word doesn't appear even once in the article.

I personally don't see that many 60 year old white men flexing at the gym before/during Covid but then again I'm from Texas.

I'm not them, but I think they probably are referring to the fact that sitting on your ass eating cheetos for a year also takes a serious toll on heart health.

Sedentary life styles causes heart health to degenerate over long spans of time (>5 years). Covid on the other hand directly causes heart damage. Which one do you think has a greater impact?
