Adults (20+) who are Sedentary

Measurement Period: 2021
This indicator shows the percentage of adults (ages 20 and up) who reported no leisure-time physical activity in the past month, not including exercise done at work.

Why is this important?

More and more individuals are living sedentary lifestyles due to lack of exercise spaces, stationary work environments, and increased media consumption. Sedentary behaviors have a wide array of health effects, including an increase in all-cause mortality, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis. ACHD is working to promote health insurer and employer-based wellness programs, including those that support healthy diets and physical activity.
