Physical activity is a key component of healthy aging. We investigated the relationships between physical activity measures and lifestyle risk factors.
Representative population data (N = 1894) of New Zealand adults aged 60 years and older were analysed to study the association between physical activity, smoking, overweight, and fruit and vegetable consumption.
Activity prevalence of 4 activity measures were 18.3% inactive/sedentary; 67.6% some recreational walking; 30.7% some vigorous activity; and 51.4% regular physical activity. Females were more likely than males to be inactive, and activity levels decreased across age groups. Activity displayed a negative association to smoking and being overweight or obese and a positive association with fruit and vegetable consumption.
Associations between lifestyle risk factors and physical activity indicate a need to address the issue of healthy aging by means of a multi-factorial approach.
身体活动是健康老龄化的关键组成部分。我们研究了身体活动指标与生活方式风险因素之间的关系。
对1894名60岁及以上新西兰成年人的代表性人口数据进行分析，以研究身体活动、吸烟、超重以及水果和蔬菜消费之间的关联。
四项身体活动指标的活动流行率分别为：18.3%不活动/久坐；67.6%进行一些休闲步行；30.7%进行一些剧烈活动；51.4%有规律的体育活动。女性比男性更易不活动，且活动水平随年龄组增加而下降。活动与吸烟、超重或肥胖呈负相关，与水果和蔬菜消费呈正相关。
生活方式风险因素与身体活动之间的关联表明，需要通过多因素方法来解决健康老龄化问题。
