ABSTRACT
In a community based study using systematic random sampling in two urban Assembly constituencies in East Delhi, 420 subjects above the age of 30 years were interviewed to find out their status regarding physical exercise. People doing regular exercise were found to be only 44.8%. The commonest reason associated for not doing/irregular physical exercise was nonavailability of time (63.3%), followed by no need felt by the respondents to exercise (23.3%). The prevalence of obesity in the group doing regular exercise was much lower than the group that was not doing regular exercise and the results were statistically significant. Though a similar association was found with hypertension also, the results were not statistically significant.
