The authors address a query on whether health policy in Great Britain should center on physical activity instead of obesity. They argue that physical activity is one of the health problems facing developed countries, further citing the findings that 95% of the population in England and the U.S. failed to meet the recommended amounts of weekly physical activity to reap significant health benefits. They enumerate the risks associated with physical inactivity. They also point out that regular physical activity is a better predictor of mortality.
