It depends on people's recall, and is mostly looking at exercise and how it affects one's lifespan, but it was a long term study and had a large population involved, so it's interesting.

    I like the Aussie study conclusion:
    CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
    Among people reporting any activity, there was an inverse dose-response relationship between proportion of vigorous activity and mortality. Our findings suggest that vigorous activities should be endorsed in clinical and public health activity guidelines to maximize the population benefits of physical activity.

    So not only use-it-or-lose-it but do it double-time!
