Physical activity is now a topic of global discussion in the
contemporary health care market, specifically in the context of
noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention and health promotion.
According to World Health Organization's estimate in 2005, physical
inactivity was responsible for 1.9 million deaths globally which
has increased to 3.2 million in 2008. Various studies suggest that
the prevalence of physical inactivity is rising in both developed
and developing counties. This pattern of increasing physical
inactivity in many countries has major implications for increasing
the prevalence of NCDs. NCDs will account for a projected 59% of
deaths in Bangladesh by 2010. Because of the increase in NCDs, it
is logical to assume that the prevalence of physical inactivity is
high in Bangladesh. However, there is a lack of baseline data on
physical activity using standardized methods in Bangladesh.
Therefore, the objectives of this study were to provide baseline
prevalences of physical activity levels in Bangladesh, identify
correlates of physical activity, and explore difference in physical
activity levels and correlates between adults living in urban
versus rural settings in Bangladesh.
