Physical inactivity is a major global public health concern, increasing the risk factor of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mortality. The WHO has initiated the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity to reduce global physical inactivity by 15% by 2030. Rapid urbanisation and insufficient physical activity in the Global South have significant implications for public health, leading to increased NCDs. Understanding physical inactivity and related risk factors among adults is essential in addressing the growing NCD epidemic. This study aims to estimate the pooled prevalence of physical inactivity and its associated risk factors among adults in Eastern African countries.
This review protocol will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2020) Guideline. A comprehensive search will be conducted using the CoCoPop (condition, context, population) frameworks to include all observational studies published from 1 January 2010 to 31 October 2024. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHAL, Web of Science, Science Direct and Google Scholar will be searched. Studies with citations without an abstract or full text and qualitative studies will be excluded. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool will be used to assess the quality of each study. The heterogeneity of studies will be quantified using the I statistic, and a fixed-effects or random-effects model will be used for the pooled analysis. Publication bias will be assessed using visual (funnel plot) and statistical methods. The study countries will be the basis for subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis will be used to see how one study's results may affect the estimate as a whole.
Ethical approval is not required for this systematic review. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Furthermore, this systematic review and meta-analysis will be used to generate comprehensive and robust evidence for public health interventions.

身体活动不足是一个主要的全球公共卫生问题，增加了非传染性疾病（NCDs）和死亡率的风险因素。世界卫生组织（WHO）已经启动了全球身体活动行动计划，旨在到 2030 年将全球身体活动不足率降低 15%。全球南方的快速城市化和身体活动不足对公共卫生有重大影响，导致 NCDs 的发病率增加。了解成年人的身体活动不足及其相关的风险因素对于应对日益严重的非传染性疾病流行至关重要。本研究旨在估计东非国家成年人身体活动不足及其相关风险因素的 pooled 患病率。
本综述方案将遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的 Preferred Reporting Items（2020）指南。将使用 CoCoPop（条件、背景、人群）框架进行全面搜索，以纳入 2010 年 1 月 1 日至 2024 年 10 月 31 日期间发表的所有观察性研究。将检索 PubMed、Scopus、Embase、CINAHAL、Web of Science、Science Direct 和 Google Scholar 等数据库。将排除没有摘要或全文的引用和定性研究。将使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所的批判性评估工具评估每项研究的质量。将使用 I 统计量来量化研究的异质性，并使用固定效应或随机效应模型进行汇总分析。将使用视觉（漏斗图）和统计方法评估发表偏倚。研究国家将作为亚组分析的基础，并进行敏感性分析，以了解一项研究的结果如何整体影响估计。
本系统评价不需要伦理批准。结果将通过同行评审出版物和会议演讲进行传播。此外，本系统评价和荟萃分析将用于生成全面和稳健的公共卫生干预证据。
