In general, men in Hull and women in Hull have lower percentages who exercise to the
national recommended levels. The exceptions are for men aged 65-74 years and for
women aged 75+ years where the percentages are slightly higher for Hull than England.
The differences appear more marked in the younger age groups especially for men.
Furthermore, the percentage undertaking light or no exercise is higher in Hull than the
percentage undertaking „low activity‟ nationally, although differences in the definitions of
this lower activity level may explain this difference.
From the Prevalence Survey 39 report (available at www.hullpublichealth.org), the ageadjusted
percentage fulfilling the national exercise guidelines are 35% in Hull for men
compared to 39% for England, and 25% for women in Hull compared to 28% nationally.
Table 123, Table 124 and Table 125 give the similar information for each of the three
Localities in Hull from the Prevalence Survey 2009. Note that the numbers of survey
responders are relatively small for some groups, so the information is also presented
from the Health and Lifestyle Survey 2007.

both completed during 2009 as the survey numbers combined are high (almost 6,000).
