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 />
