April 7 of each year is designated as World Health Day and celebrated by the 191 member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) to emphasize significant issues in public health of worldwide concern. <\/p>\n

World Health Day offers a unique opportunity to raise global awareness of a specific health theme. The theme for World Health Day 2002 (WHD) — Move for Health! — highlights the importance of physical activity and a healthy life style. In most parts of the world, non-communicable diseases have become a major epidemic. This is due, in part, to a rapid transition in lifestyles leading to reduced physical activity, changing diets and increased tobacco use. This trend is present in all societies, rich and poor, developed and developing.<\/p>\n

Sedentary lifestyle is a major underlying cause of death, disease, and disability. Regular physical activity substantially reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancers. Moreover, physical activity need not be strenuous to be beneficial; people of all ages benefit from moderate physical activity, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking five or more times a week.<\/p>\n

This year, the celebration of WHD 2002 provides an opportunity to raise awareness to the many simple ways that regular physical activity in everyday life can make a major impact improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities. The day serves as a launch for a long-term advocacy program for which activities will be undertaken and resources provided well beyond April 7.
