Inactivity within adults (ages 16 plus, Nov 2018-19), England

SUMMARY Levels of inactivity within adults between November 2018-19. An adult was deemed to have been inactive if they carried out < 30 mins of moderate intensity activity a week during this period. ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Each district was given a relative score between 1 and 0 (1 = worst, 0 = best) based on: A) the NUMBER of adults who are inactive and; B) the PERCENTAGE of adults who are inactive. An average of scores A & B was taken, and converted to a relative score between 1 and 0 (1= worst, 0 = best). The closer to 1 the score, the greater both the number and percentage of adults who are inactive, compared to other districts. In other words, those are areas where a large number of adults are inactive, and where those people make up a large percentage of the adult population, indicating there is a real issue with inactivity within the adult population and the investment of resources to address this issue could have the greatest benefits.
