The source defines physical activity as doing "at least 30 minutes of at least moderate intensity physical activity on 5 or more days the previous week. (Prior to 2011 this was the target activity level for meeting physical activity guidelines, but guidelines were revised during 2011 to allow more flexibility in how target activity levels are met)." Data refers to those who had no active days.
* Unweighted base in 2014 (whole sample): n (men)= 6,554, n (women)= 7,616. Bases for previous years vary.
The source adds: "from 2007 the fieldwork runs on a calendar year basis."
