Fig. 2: Socioeconomic and gender-based domain-specific physical activity inequalities by country income category.
From: Physical activity for public health in the 21st century
Unidimensional socioeconomic (education used as proxy) (a) and gender-based (b) inequalities in prevalence of meeting WHO Physical Activity Guidelines through leisure time (active leisure), transport-related (active transport) and occupational (active labor) physical activity by World Bank country income categories (LIC, low-income country; LMC, lower middle-income country; UMC, upper middle-income country; HIC, high-income country). In a, SII (slope index) denotes the absolute differences in predicted values (percentage points) between those with the highest versus lowest educational attainment, taking into consideration the entire distribution of education in the population, by using a logistic regression model. In b, ‘Difference’ denotes absolute differences in percentage points between men and women (source data: WHO STEPS, n = 68 countries; prevalence data date range: 2008−2019). CI, confidence interval.
