[QUOTE]"We calculated that about 20 percent of all deaths in Hong Kong people aged 35 and above could be attributed to a lack of physical activity. This amounted to 6,450 deaths," the Post quoted Lam Tai-hing, head of the university's department of community medicine, as saying.QUOTE]

I know, the discussion the over-hyped obesity epidemic opened my eyes on this type of fact twisting.

How the heck did they determine that these deaths were due to physical inactivity. Did they compile the number of death certificates labeled "death due to lack of physical activity" ?
