How social capital is related to an increasingly important disease risk-physical inactivity has not yet been investigated. In the present study the associations between social capital and physical inactivity were investigated in a sample of Queensland (Australia) adults. Data was collected from 1278 persons by means of a computer-assisted-telephone-interview survey. The association between the social capital variables and physical inactivity was studied using logistical regression. Multivariate analysis adjusted for the effects of selected socio-demographic factors in the investigation of the association between physical inactivity and quartile groupings of social capital scores. Physical inactivity was negatively associated with the measure of social capital. Individuals in the top two quartiles of social capital were significantly less likely to be physically inactive than those in the two lowest quartiles. In summary, low social capital was associated with physical inactivity. The results offer implications for health promotion programs aimed at increasing levels of physical activity at the community or population level.
社会资本与一种日益重要的疾病风险——身体活动不足之间的关系尚未得到研究。在本研究中，我们在昆士兰（澳大利亚）成年人样本中调查了社会资本与身体活动不足之间的关联。通过计算机辅助电话访谈调查收集了1278人的数据。使用逻辑回归研究了社会资本变量与身体活动不足之间的关联。在调查身体活动不足与社会资本得分四分位数分组之间的关联时，多变量分析对选定的社会人口学因素的影响进行了调整。身体活动不足与社会资本指标呈负相关。社会资本得分处于前两个四分位数的个体身体活动不足的可能性明显低于处于两个最低四分位数的个体。总之，低社会资本与身体活动不足有关。这些结果为旨在提高社区或人群身体活动水平的健康促进项目提供了启示。
