The author concludes that people who choose not to exercise impose “significant” additional costs on society. Why? Because a calculation showed the average sedentary person contributes $1,650 in extra healthcare costs to society over their lifetime.

The author assumes that a burden of $1,650 over each sedentary person’s lifetime adds up to a “significant” total. In addition, she assumes that people who live a sedentary life do so because they choose not to exercise.

Such people may not be counted as sedentary. There’s no indication the 1991 calculation relied on an estimate of how many people live a sedentary lifestyle.

Patients may still seek medical care for conditions caused by a sedentary lifestyle, even if that lifestyle is not identified as the cause. This helps explain why some people choose not to exercise, but doesn’t address any burden they might place on society.

This implies those physical conditions are responsible for much of the healthcare burden, rather than voluntary decisions not to exercise. It challenges the author’s assumption that sedentary people simply choose to avoid exercise.

This refers to people who exercise regularly, not those with a sedentary lifestyle. It doesn’t say the collection of people with a sedentary lifestyle is ill-defined.

This offers more detail to the argument. These benefits of exercise help explain why a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthy—they don’t address the apparent burden people who don’t exercise place on society.
