Age-Adjusted Rate of Adults who are Sedentary

County: Greene
Measurement Period: 2021
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who did not participate in any leisure-time activities (physical activities other than their regular job) during the past month.

Why is this important?

Adults who are sedentary are at an increased risk of many serious health conditions. These conditions include obesity, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and high blood pressure. In addition, physical activity improves mood and promotes healthy sleep patterns. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that adults perform physical activity three to five times each week for 20 to 60 minutes at a time to improve cardiovascular fitness and body composition. The ACSM also recommends that you include strength and flexibility training in your exercise program. If you are not currently exercising, please consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce the proportion of adults who do no physical activity in their free time to 21.8 percent.

Change in methodology for 2014:
The BRFSS 2014 prevalence data should be considered a baseline year for data analysis and is not directly comparable to previous years of BRFSS data because of the changes in weighting methodology and the addition of the cell phone sampling frame.
