Guys, here's something to cite the next time your gal is nagging you to get off the couch: An international study suggests that women are lazier than men. A paper published by Lancet this week surveyed 122 countries to find out how active the global population is, reports Time. Around 30% of the world's adults were designated as physically inactive, meaning they get less than a half-hour of moderate physical activity 5 days a week.
Break that down by the sexes, and 28% of men were found to be physically inactive, compared to 34% of women. But it's not all bad news for those with two X chromosomes—an IQ expert recently said women are scoring better than men on such tests. Oh, and women still live longer, too.
