Getting over the hill – encouraging middle-aged Singaporean women to exercise

Physical inactivity is a global issue. As one of the 4 main risk factors for non-communicable diseases it has become a focus for governments worldwide. The problem is greater in countries with high GDP and Singapore is no exception; 54% of adult Singaporeans are reported to be ‘physically inactive’. One of the least active segments is women aged 40-59. The Singapore Government is making efforts to address this problem.
