To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of patients who received physical activity counseling from a general practitioner.
Data presented are from a cross-sectional survey of approximately 2000 Queensland (Australia) adults conducted as part of a multi-strategy, community-based, physical activity intervention (10,000 Steps Rockhampton). The survey included self-reported receipt of general practitioner advice on physical activity as well as demographic, medical, and physical activity questions.
Receipt of advice on physical activity was reported by 24.2% of respondents, with advice more likely to be given to males, overweight/obese people, those with chronic conditions, and those more frequently visiting their general practitioners.
Rates of physical activity advice and characteristics of patients receiving advice are similar to those reported overseas and suggest that while there is room for improvement, general practitioners are targeting their advice to patients most in need.
评估从全科医生处接受身体活动咨询的患者的患病率及特征。
所呈现的数据来自一项针对约2000名昆士兰（澳大利亚）成年人的横断面调查，该调查是一项多策略、基于社区的身体活动干预（罗克汉普顿万步走）的一部分。该调查包括自我报告的从全科医生处获得的关于身体活动的建议以及人口统计学、医学和身体活动方面的问题。
24.2%的受访者报告接受了身体活动方面的建议，男性、超重/肥胖者、患有慢性病者以及更频繁就诊于全科医生的人更有可能获得建议。
身体活动建议的比例以及接受建议患者的特征与海外报道的相似，这表明虽然仍有改进空间，但全科医生正将建议针对最有需要的患者。
