A recent Stanford University study has placed Qatar as the sixth \u201claziest\u201d country globally, based on physical inactivity levels. The research analyzed data from 717,527 individuals across 111 countries, measuring their average daily steps.<\/p>\n

The study highlights the link between physical activity inequality and obesity rates, emphasizing that countries with lower average steps often experience higher obesity prevalence.<\/p>\n

Focusing on physical inactivity, such as the lack of walking, <\/span>here is how Stanford University ranked the countries<\/span>:<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Indonesia: 3,513 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Saudi: 3,807 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Malaysia: 3,963 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Philippines: 4,008 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Afrika Selatan: 4,105 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Qatar: 4,158 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Brazil: 4,289 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. India: 4,297 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Egypt: 4,315 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Greece: 4,350 steps\/day<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While Qatar\u2019s ranking may raise eyebrows, it\u2019s important to consider the local context. The country’s climate, with its scorching summers, often limits outdoor physical activity. Additionally, the widespread use of cars, particularly the beloved Toyota Land Cruisers, further reduces the necessity of walking.<\/p>\n

    Perhaps this ranking is a call to action for Qataris to embrace more active lifestyles. Whether it’s a stroll along the Corniche or joining a local fitness group, small steps can make a big difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A recent Stanford University study has placed Qatar as the sixth \u201claziest\u201d country globally, based on physical inactivity levels.
