Association Between Physical Activity Levels and Risk Factors for Non-Communicable Diseases Among Civil Servants in Abuja
Background
Non-communicable diseases are responsible for an increasing proportion of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. Physical inactivity is a major modifiable risk factor associated with obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Civil servants often engage in sedentary work patterns that may increase their vulnerability to chronic diseases. Understanding the relationship between physical activity and non-communicable disease risk factors is important for designing workplace wellness programs and promoting healthier lifestyles. This study investigates physical activity levels and associated health risks among civil servants in Abuja.
