Comparison of PAL between countries.

PAL in adults with CHD was measured using the Health Behaviour Scale (HBS-CHD) and the proportion reaching WHO recommendations on PAL was calculated for each country. There was a great inter-country variation in the proportion of CHD patients reaching recommended PAL. In this heat map, countries included in the study are marked in color. Shades of green denote a higher proportion of CHD patients reaching recommended PAL as compared with shades of red.

CHD = congenital heart disease, PAL = physical activity level, WHO = World Health Organization.
