Our latest report shows 1.8 billion adults lack physical activity, raising the risks for noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 #diabetes & certain types of #cancer.

Nearly one third of adults worldwide did not meet the recommended levels of physical activity in 2022, global study in @LancetGH suggests.

ALT Map of (A) age-standardised prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged 18 years and over in 2022, (B) data coverage and representativeness, and (C) country progress during 2010–22 toward the global target of a 15% relative reduction in insufficient physical activity prevalence among adults aged 18 years and over between 2010 and 2030. For visibility, small-area countries are listed next to a box indicating their corresponding values. Copyright: 2024 World Health Organization; licensee Elsevier Ltd. CC BY 3.0 IGO

And then next Wednesday, we'll be doing a deeper dive into the methods and data available
@WHO is pleased to announce the launch of new global comparable estimates of the prevalence of physical inactivity.
To learn more about the results and the implications for policy, research and practice, register for the second of two webinars 🔗 buff.ly/4bjiNxM
I'll be joining other authors of the global estimates paper to talk about the policy implications next Tuesday

Gender inequalities persist-new data reveal inactivity levels in women are on average 5 percentage points higher than in men (34% vs. 29%). In 1/3 of countries it is 10% and some countries, the difference is 20%!

Interested in new data on global levels of physical inactivity and WHO projections for 2030 .......

WHO latest report shows 1/3 adults (1.8 billion) do not meet recommended levels of physical activity - this increases risk of NCDs.
Wake up call for more action & investment in PA.

Given the rising popularity of wearable activity trackers, the volume of data collected, & the possibilities in analyzing data retrospectively, is it time for researchers to use data from #wearables? @jacquelinelmair et al. provide strong consideration:

New paper examining the entire physical activity intensity spectrum (all at once!) associated with cardiometabolic risk in adults.
Findings, if causal, support WHO PA recommendations encouraging PA of (almost) all intensities - i.e. “every move counts!”

📣ISPAH Education Committee Promoted Course: #PhysicalActivity Measurement Seminar Hosted by @MRC_Epid
🗓️5-9 Sept 2022
✅Aimed at Research Assistants & PhD students interested in objective monitoring of free-living physical activity
❓More details 🔗mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/pa-semina…
There is rightly much talk about using consumer wearable devices for physical activity measurement using various research study designs. We've written a commentary picking up on four key issues we think are relevant for population surveillance doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2021-00…
This was really good. Recommended for those wondering how large representative surveys might move away from face-to-face data collection in the coming years. Recording apparently will be uploaded here soon youtube.com/channel/UC06_SmP…
Tonight's #survey methodology #webinar is underway, with NatCen's Peter Cornick and Shanna Christie introducing our new Centre for Social Survey Transformation and our REMoDEL approach to transforming social surveys. Find out more about our new Centre: natcen.ac.uk/our-expertise/m…
Simply the best.

Wonderful tributes from @MarieHMurphy @fiona_bull and @stuart_biddle
Thanks for everything boss!

Population-based study of objectively measured physical activity & body fatness in @IntJObesity finds both total activity volume and activity intensity are significantly and independently associated with body fatness outcomes.

I talked about this issue of "immobility" among Indian women here nitter.cf/rahulatiitd/status/106…
#women in #India have one of the lowest work participation rates in the world; physical inactivity levels are exceptionally high for a lower-middle income country; My article in @ConversationUK exploring the links to travel patterns
