Selfcare 2030: Insights Report Physical Activity
The Selfcare 2030 Insights Report series examines the seven pillars of selfcare through research, policy insights, and practical strategies that support sustainable health across populations and life stages.
This third volume focuses on physical activity — highlighting its role as a catalyst for prevention, resilience, and long-term wellbeing. It emphasizes movement as a natural part of daily life rather than a standalone task, supporting inclusive and accessible approaches to selfcare.
WHAT THIS REPORT COVERS
This report explores:
- The global burden of physical inactivity and its health and economic impact
- The science of physical activity and its benefits for body, brain, and emotional health
- Determinants of movement, including social, environmental, and cultural influences
- Behavioural change models and strategies that support long-term engagement
- Physical activity across the lifespan — from childhood to older adulthood
- The relationship between movement and other selfcare pillars such as nutrition, rest, and mental wellbeing
- A forward-looking call to action to embed physical activity into everyday life
WHY THIS MATTERS
Sedentary lifestyles are among the leading risk factors for chronic disease and reduced quality of life worldwide. This report reframes physical activity as a public health priority and a personal selfcare practice, showing how even small, consistent movement can reduce risk, enhance wellbeing, and support longevity.
Rather than focusing on perfection or performance, the report reinforces that selfcare is built through everyday choices — movement included.
A GUIDING REMINDER
Selfcare is not a checklist.
Movement is not an obligation.
Health is not built in a single decision.
Longevity and wellbeing grow from small, intentional actions — repeated with care, consistency, and compassion.

Who Selfcare Wins: A Global Perspective on Men and Selfcare
Selfcare is vital for everyone, but men and women face different health realities, and men’s health is often overlooked in the field. With global male life expectancy lagging four years behind females and the gap widening, it is critical to address the specific barriers men face.
This report from Global Action on Men’s Health utilizes the "Seven Pillars of Selfcare" framework to analyze challenges such as gender norms and low health literacy. It offers a global perspective on how improved selfcare practices can save lives and benefit men, women, and children alike.

Selfcare is the ability of individuals, families, and communities to: promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability.

World Health Organization (WHO) and Selfcare Interventions
Selfcare interventions for health can transform health systems and accelerate progress to advance universal health coverage (UHC). This approach views people as powerful decision-makers in their own health, promoting autonomy and agency within a supportive health care system. WHO’s first consolidated guideline on selfcare interventions for health acknowledges the critical importance of selfcare in transforming health care delivery, including during pandemics.
