Physical inactivity is an important risk factor for premature morbidity and mortality, especially among high-risk populations. Although health-promotion programs have targeted high-risk groups (i.e., older adults, women, and racial/ethnic minorities), barriers exist that may affect their physical activity level. Identifying and reducing specific barriers (e.g., lack of knowledge of the health benefits of physical activity, limited access to facilities, low self-efficacy, and environmental issues [2-6]) are important for efforts designed to increase physical activity. Concerns about neighborhood safety may be a barrier to physical activity. To characterize the association between neighborhood safety and physical inactivity, CDC analyzed data from the 1996 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in Maryland, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This report summarizes the results of this analysis, which indicate that persons who perceived their neighborhood to be unsafe were more likely to be physically inactive.
缺乏身体活动是过早发病和死亡的一个重要风险因素，在高危人群中尤其如此。尽管健康促进项目以高危群体（即老年人、女性和种族/族裔少数群体）为目标，但仍然存在一些可能影响他们身体活动水平的障碍。识别并减少特定障碍（例如，对身体活动健康益处的认识不足、设施使用受限、自我效能感低以及环境问题[2 - 6]）对于旨在增加身体活动的努力至关重要。对邻里安全的担忧可能是身体活动的一个障碍。为了描述邻里安全与缺乏身体活动之间的关联，美国疾病控制与预防中心分析了来自马里兰州、蒙大拿州、俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州和弗吉尼亚州1996年行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）的数据。本报告总结了这一分析结果，结果表明，认为自己所在社区不安全的人更有可能缺乏身体活动。
