A recent study by the World Health Organization (WHO) and The Lancet reveals that nearly one-third of adults worldwide, approximately 1.8 billion people, did not meet the recommended levels of physical activity in 2022. The study highlights that physical inactivity poses significant health risks, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The report also indicates that 34% of women and 29% of men are inactive. The highest rates of inactivity were observed in the high-income Asia Pacific region (48%) and South Asia (45%), with levels in Pakistan at 45.7% and Oceania at 14%. In India, nearly half of the adult population failed to meet physical activity recommendations, with the trend worsening significantly since 2000. The WHO warns that if current trends continue, global levels of inactivity could rise to 35% by 2030, putting more people at risk of non-communicable diseases.
