The Chief Medical Officer states that UK adults should do 150 minutes, or more, of activity per week. That’s a little over 20 minutes per day, on average, and can take any form to suit age, ability, and preferences. However, in Greater Manchester, there’s a big variation in activity levels across different ethnic groups.
In Greater Manchester, people in the lowest socio-economic status groups are twice as likely to be inactive (36.7%) as those in the highest groups (17.8%).
In Bolton 51.5% of children and young people are not achieving an average of 60 active minutes per day, which means that just under half are doing enough activity to stay healthy.
In Bury 57.5% of children and young people are not achieving an average of 60 active minutes per day, which means that just over 4 in 10 are doing enough activity to stay healthy.
In Manchester 67.7% of children and young people are not achieving an average of 60 active minutes per day, which means that just over 3 in 10 are doing enough activity to stay healthy.
In Oldham 70.2% of children and young people are not achieving an average of 60 active minutes per day, which means that only 3 in 10 are doing enough activity to stay healthy.
