Abstract

There is compelling evidence that physical inactivity is responsible for a large proportion of non-communicable diseases. It is estimated that approximately 2 million deaths every year are attributable to physical inactivity. The aim of this study was to measure the association between physical inactivity and hypertension and to explore socioeconomic variations in physical activity in government officials in Sri Lanka.
