This article examines factors associated with starting or sustaining physical activity during leisure time.
The data are from the longitudinal household components of the National Population Health Survey. The sample consisted of 11,026 respondents who were aged 20 and older in 1994/95.
Multiple logistic regression was used to identify variables that independently predicted the adoption or maintenance of leisure-time physical activity.
Among people who had been inactive in 1994/95, the two-year incidence of starting at least moderate physical activity by 1996/97 or 1998/99 was 24 cases per 100 person-years. For people who had been at least moderately active in 1994/95, the two-year incidence of ceasing to maintain that level of activity was 32 cases per 100 person-years. Many predictors of starting or sustaining activity were the same: sex, age, educational attainment, smoking, and sense of mastery. However, some factors were significant for one sex only. For instance, overweight and the presence of children were deterrents for women, but not for men. Social involvement and smoking status were significant for men, but not for women.
本文探讨与在休闲时间开始或维持体育活动相关的因素。
数据来自全国人口健康调查的纵向家庭部分。样本包括1994/95年年龄在20岁及以上的11,026名受访者。
采用多元逻辑回归来确定独立预测休闲时间体育活动的采用或维持情况的变量。
在1994/95年不活动的人群中，到1996/97年或1998/99年开始至少进行适度体育活动的两年发病率为每100人年24例。对于1994/95年至少进行适度活动的人群，停止维持该活动水平的两年发病率为每100人年32例。许多开始或维持活动的预测因素是相同的：性别、年龄、教育程度、吸烟和掌控感。然而，一些因素仅对一种性别有显著影响。例如，超重和有孩子对女性是阻碍因素，但对男性不是。社交参与和吸烟状况对男性有显著影响，但对女性没有。
