Physical inactivity in Arab countries is associated with specific socio-demographic factors, including older age, marriage, urban residence, and lower education levels.
Be aware that your age, marital status, place of residence, education, and employment can influence your physical activity levels. Older, married, urban-dwelling individuals with lower education may face higher barriers to activity. Leverage employment and education to maintain active habits.
