Physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality (6% of deaths globally). This follows high blood pressure (13%), tobacco use (9%) and high blood glucose (6%). Overweight and obesity are responsible for 5% of global mortality. Global health is being influenced by three trends:population-ageing, rapid unplanned urbanization, and globalization, all of which result in unhealthy environments and behaviors.
