Note: For this measure, lower rates are better. Obesity is defined as a body mass index of 30 or higher. Basic activity limitations refer<br />
to problems with mobility, self-care, domestic life, and activities that depend on sensory functioning, and complex activity limitations<br />
refer to limitations experienced in work and in community, social, and civic life. Neither indicates people with neither basic nor<br />
complex activity limitations. White and Black are non-Hispanic groups. Hispanic includes all races.<br />
n Overall, in 2008, 53% of adults with obesity did not spend half an hour or more engaged in<br />
moderate or vigorous physical activity at least three times a week (Figure 2.46).<br />
n From 2002 to 2008, there were no statistically significant changes by race/ethnicity in the percentage<br />
of adults with obesity who did not spend half an hour or more engaged in moderate or vigorous<br />
physical activity.<br />
n In 3 out of the 7 years, the percentage of adults with obesity who did not spend half an hour or more<br />
engaged in moderate or vigorous physical activity was higher for Hispanics than for non-Hispanic<br />
Whites.<br />
