During the study, WHO experts analyzed the eating habits and physical activity levels of children and adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years old living in Europe, Central Asia and Canada. More than eight thousand British teenagers also took part in the survey. They turned out to be the most “lazy” among representatives of 44 countries. Only one in ten respondents from England, Scotland and Wales had developed the habit of doing at least one hour of moderate physical activity (such as walking) every day by the age of 15.
