A review of socio economic differences in physical activity in Europe

In a paper just published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition & Physical Activity we reviewed the current research on socio-economic differences in physical activity in Europe. 

Considerable differences in the direction of inequalities were seen for the different domains of physical activity (PA). Most studies reported that those with high socioeconomic position were more physically active during leisure-time compared to those with low socioeconomic position. Occupational PA was more prevalent among the lower socioeconomic groups. Socioeconomic differences in total PA and active transport PA did not show a consistent pattern.
