Phyiscal Activity among Young People in Mirpur, Pakistan

Research linked to my earlier posting: There is little research on physical activity among young people in Pakistan. There is need to understand this and ways in which physical activity levels can be increased among this group since unbalanced food consumption i.e. fatty foods and a sedentary lifestyle can have a impact on health particularly in a population where diabetes is common.
