Across the country, reported levels of physical activity in the 2015 What About YOUth? (WAY) survey were much lower among young people (aged 15 years) who are gay/lesbian, bisexual or other minority sexualities than in heterosexual groups (Table 6). [Ref]“What About YOUth? survey,” Health and Social Care Information Centre, 2015.[/ref] Conversely, sedentary behaviour was much more common in gay/lesbian or bisexual young people responding to this survey.
