“…Similarly, physical inactivity is prevalent in South Asia and Latin America, and has been shown to be related to abnormal glucose metabolism in China . Such a lack of physical activity and sedentary behaviors is linked to mind set, urbanization and migration, mechanization, socioeconomic stratum, safety and weather concerns, and lack of open spaces and walking lanes . Attempts have been made to formulate guidelines for physical activity (eg, in India), but in most settings guidelines from developed countries are followed …”

Of these, two also reported that men were more likely to cycle for active transport compared to women (32,52).…”
