activity 1-2 times a week, with walking/jogging and yoga
being the most common activities.

contributing to a sedentary lifestyle.

of 10.
- Stress and anxiety were commonly reported, with nearly
40% experiencing these feelings a few times a week.

such as stress and anxiety, were prevalent. It is
recommended to promote regular physical activity, improve
sleep quality, encourage preventive healthcare visits, and
raise awareness about lifestyle-related health risks to improve
overall wellness.
