Study declares Kenyans most unfit, unhealthy in East Africa

A man's pot-belly. Survey says Kenya has the most unfit population in East Africa.

?The number of Kenyans not active enough to stay healthy is three times more than Ugandans, which is the most active population in the world.

A global report on physical activity released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday shows only 5.5 per cent of Ugandans are not active enough, the smallest number in any country in the world. On the other hand, 15.4 per cent of adult Kenyans, the report shows, are not as active as recommended by WHO. Almost a quarter of the world population or 1.4 billion people are not doing the recommended 150 minutes of moderate, or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week.
