The purpose of this study was to compare the health-promoting behaviors and exercise behaviors of older African American women above and below poverty level. Fifty-eight African American women completed a demographic form and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP). Results indicated that African American women living above the poverty level had higher overall scores on the total HPLP and higher scores on the exercise subscale of the HPLP than women living below poverty level. Implications include teaching culturally specific, practical, and inexpensive exercise activities in primary care and community settings.
本研究的目的是比较贫困线以上和以下的老年非裔美国女性的健康促进行为和锻炼行为。58名非裔美国女性填写了一份人口统计学表格和健康促进生活方式概况（HPLP）。结果表明，生活在贫困线以上的非裔美国女性在HPLP总分上的得分高于贫困线以下的女性，在HPLP锻炼子量表上的得分也更高。这意味着在初级保健和社区环境中教授具有文化特异性、实用且廉价的锻炼活动。
