One in Four Adolescents Worldwide Lacks Daily Physical Activity, Girls Less Active
A Lancet Global Health study finds that one in four adolescents worldwide does not engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily, with girls less active than boys. The analysis, covering 3.2 million adolescents from 140 countries, shows little progress over 15 years. India was excluded due to lack of representative data. The findings highlight concerns about adolescent health and the need for targeted efforts to increase physical activity, especially among girls.
