Hong Kong has found to be the most 'active' place on earth. Guess where the least active is.
In a paper published in Nature, scientists from Stanford University used 68 million days worth minute by minute of data to measure where in the world people took the most steps each day.
At the top were the people of Hong Kong, who took and average of 6,880 steps per day.
Indonesians came last, travelling only 3,513 a day.
The data came from over 700,000 people using the Argus activity monitoring app on their smart phones.
Brits took an average of 5,444 steps per day.
Scott Delp, a professor of bioengineering involved in the story, told the BBC:
The study is 1,000 times larger than any previous study on human movement.
There have been wonderful health surveys done, but our new study provides data from more countries, many more subjects, and tracks people's activity on an ongoing basis.
