The Laziest Countries in the World ...

Neecey Jul 1, 2015

The highly respected medical journal, The Lancet, published a report following a study into the laziest countries in the world. Health is a major issue all over the world – some of it due to limiting socio-economic factors, some due to lifestyle choices. It is recommended that we should do at least 2.5 hours of moderate exercise every week. It seems many people are not achieving that. Here are, according to the aforementioned study, the Laziest Countries in the World.

Addendum
3 years ago, at the time of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, The Lancet launched a series on the worldwide pandemic of physical inactivity.1 The Series showed that a third of adults and 80% of adolescents around the world do not reach recommended levels for daily physical activity (30 min and 60 min of physical activity of moderate-to-vigorous intensity per day for adults and adolescents, respectively).2 Physical inactivity was shown to be responsible for 5·3 million deaths per year worldwide.

They studied 122 countries to develop the results stated above.

I started laughing when I saw my country .... I don't know why I found it funny 🙈🙈

Um annie, totally uncalled for and untrue.

What happened to USA they're all obese as fuck

Annie, comments like that are the things that drive people to eating disorders. Think before you speak next time :)

Lol @ the comments below. Although it was a bit tricky to label these countries as the "Laziest in the World", it's an interesting scientific study that should be addressed. I'm not personally offended by someone calling my country lazy. It's a nothing more than a generalization.

japan? i dnt thnk so. japanese work their asses frst hour in the morning and has the longest over time work. just so u know

MICRONESIA is wonderful❤️

Where's U.S.A? Don't insult other places before we take a look at ourselves

I am from the UK and the amount of unfit obese people I have seen is sad. However there are hoof mount of healthy people but there is a lot of obese people milling about which is really depressing. It is also the lifestyle many people finish work late and the last place they want to do is visit the gym. Some people don't even want to walk either. So yes but hopefully things will change .

I'm surprised the U.S.A. Isn't on this list
