There are over a quarter of adults that are inactive (26.7%), which is above the GM and national averages, and equates to 41,700 adults in Bury. Further two fifth's (42.5%) are not meeting the recommended amount of movement required to benefit their health, again above GM and national averages.

There are significant inequalities across people with a place. The gender, disability gap and age gaps have narrowed since Nov 15-16, but the socio-economic status (SES) has increased in Bury. Whereas the trend at GM level has seen the gender, age and disability gaps narrow, but the SES gap remain the same.
