Cultural Factors. Preventing physical inactivity (PA) and poor diet quality is highly important as an active life style and a balanced diet have been associated with higher quality of life, increased life expectancy and lower risk of developing illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes [226].
