This case study investigates the lack of physical activity among women in Canada and risk factors associated with such behaviour. According to Global Obesity Observatory Report 2016, approximately 30% of women in Canada have insufficient physical activity on daily basis (World Obesity, 2016). Inactivity is directly related to obesity which further could be a reason of many noncommunicable health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and osteoporosis (Bishop et al., 2023). Women are comparatively less active when compared with men in all age groups in Canada and makes up for the major part of unhealthy population of the country (Bryan and Walsh, 2004). This report incorporates prevalence, determinants, possible health issues and interventions related to physical inactivity among women in Canada.
