What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who report physical activity lefvels that meet the following guidelines: moderate physical activity (exercise that produces only light sweating or a slight to moderate increase in breathing or heart rate) at least 5 times a week for 30 minutes at a time, and/or vigorous physical activity (activities that cause heavy sweating or large increases in breathing or heart rate) at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes at a time. |
| Why this is important: Regular physical activity can improve the health and quality of life of Americans of all ages. Among adults and older adults, physical activity can lower the risk of: early death; coronary heart disease; stroke; high blood pressure; type 2 diabetes; breast and colon cancer; falls; and depression. For people who are inactive, even small increases in physical activity are associated with health benefits. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the national value; national data are derived from the 2011 PRC National Health Survey. |
