Physical activity patterns and environmental influences: Findings from the Kuwait diabetes epidemiology program
This study indicates that half the population in Kuwait did not meet the WHO recommended minimum PA level of at least 600 MET (min/week). Efforts to promote PA in Kuwait should consider addressing gender and ethnic disparities, local environmental factors, and demographic influences such as marital status.
