Adult physical activity behaviour – demographic groups

Key Highlights

• Many of the different groups in our population experience higher levels of inactivity
• There is a difference in levels of inactivity between men and women?
• Why is there such a large proportion of people with limiting illness of disability that are inactive?
• What’s going on with the NS SeC groups?

Values are estimated by using the following formula:

• ONS 2018 mid year population estimates
• Census 2011 proportion
• Nov 17/18 Inactive percentage

For example –

• ONS Population projection = 10’000
• Census male proportion = 50%
• Inactive Percentage = 50%
• 10000 population = 5000 males = 2500 inactive males
