What percentage of people get enough exercise?
Only about 28% of Americans meet the CDC's physical activity guidelines (150 min/week moderate activity). Globally, 27.5% of adults are insufficiently active, according to the WHO — a figure that has not improved meaningfully in 20 years. Inactivity is the fourth-leading risk factor for global mortality.
