The present study describes leisure-time physical activity status and related lifestyle factors in middle-aged Japanese. Data were obtained from 1,893 (905 men, 988 women) participants aged 40-69 years who had either been selected from a public registry or who had visited a healthcare facility. Subjects responded to a self-administered questionnaire and were interviewed using an assessment method for leisure-time and on-the-job physical activity within the last 12 months by trained interviewers. According to the leisure-time physical activity score, men and urban residents tended to engage in more leisure-time physical activity than did women and rural residents, respectively. Leisure-time physical activity tended to be inversely associated with on-the-job physical activity in all cases aside from women in urban regions, and also to be associated with higher levels of education in rural regions. Subjects engaging in more leisure-time physical activity had higher odds ratios of certain lifestyle factors, indicating a healthy lifestyle that included a variety of foods in their diet and a subjective sense of wellness in both men and women, in addition to non-smoking and drinking milk in men. These results suggested that leisure-time physical activity is influenced by socio-environmental factors, and that it is accompanied by other healthy behavior.
本研究描述了日本中年人的休闲体育活动状况及相关生活方式因素。数据来自1893名（905名男性，988名女性）年龄在40 - 69岁之间的参与者，他们要么是从公共登记处选取的，要么是去过医疗机构的。受试者回答了一份自填式问卷，并由经过培训的访谈员使用一种评估方法对其过去12个月内的休闲体育活动和工作中的体育活动进行访谈。根据休闲体育活动得分，男性和城市居民分别比女性和农村居民更倾向于进行更多的休闲体育活动。除了城市地区的女性外，在所有情况下，休闲体育活动往往与工作中的体育活动呈负相关，并且在农村地区还与较高的教育水平相关。进行更多休闲体育活动的受试者具有某些生活方式因素的较高比值比，这表明男性和女性都有一种健康的生活方式，包括饮食中摄入各种食物以及主观的健康感，此外男性还包括不吸烟和喝牛奶。这些结果表明，休闲体育活动受社会环境因素影响，并且与其他健康行为相伴。
