WHO Report Reveals Global Increase in Physical Inactivity

Nearly one-third of adults worldwide are not meeting exercise guidelines, heightening risks of chronic diseases.

1.8 billion adults were physically inactive in 2022, a 5% increase since 2010.
Physical inactivity rates are highest in high-income Asia Pacific and South Asia regions.
Women and older adults are more likely to be inactive compared to men and younger adults.
Countries like the UK show improvement, but global trends indicate rising inactivity.
WHO calls for stronger policies and increased funding to promote physical activity.
