Country comparisons

You can choose to compare this country’s data with the data for up to four other countries.

Policies, Interventions and Actions

Physical Activity for Healthier Living

The main objective of formulating the National Guidelines for Physical Activity is to promote an active lifestyle, which is a key intervention for controlling non-communicable diseases, and to raise awareness and familiarise the public with physical activity and exercise for a healthy lifestyle. The policy is based on four main principles which include working together with political figures and other relevant bodies to change people's attitudes towards exercise, raise awareness of physical activity and educate people about healthy living. The goal of physical activity policies and standards is to reduce the proportion of people who are not adequately physically active to 10% by organising opportunities for exercise in a safe environment. In addition, building and raising awareness of people in the field and working together with relevant sectors is also the main basis of the policy.
