Understanding population prevalences of physical activity is important to develop benchmarks for current baseline levels to monitor future changes, and for making country/regional comparisons. The purpose was to review the global prevalence of physical activity levels among youth and adults. Standardized literature searches for articles about national prevalences of physical activity were conducted in PubMed. A total of 34 studies in adults and 28 studies in youth were deemed contemporary (1996 - present) and met the inclusion criteria for this review. Wide variability was present between countries in the prevalence of physical activity (as measured and defined by individual studies). Studies with the highest reported prevalences of physical activity were for men in Sweden (77%), women in Denmark (81%), 12- to 15-year-old boys in Australia (74%) and <12-year-old girls (75%) in China. The countries with the lowest reported prevalences of physical activity were men in Brazil (4%), women in Saudi Arabia (2%) and Thailand (2%), and 17- to 18-year-old boys (0%) and 17- to 18-year-old girls (0%) in Russia. The ranges of prevalence of physical activity, mode of data collection, and determination of meeting the physical activity threshold vary greatly between countries. However, the aggregation of these data can be a useful resource to practitioners, interventionists and epidemiologists.
了解身体活动的人群患病率对于制定当前基线水平的基准以监测未来变化以及进行国家/地区比较非常重要。目的是回顾全球青年和成年人身体活动水平的患病率。在PubMed中对有关身体活动国家患病率的文章进行了标准化文献检索。共有34项关于成年人的研究和28项关于青年的研究被认为是当代的（1996年至今），并符合本综述的纳入标准。各国之间身体活动的患病率（由个别研究测量和定义）存在很大差异。报告的身体活动患病率最高的研究是瑞典男性（77%）、丹麦女性（81%）、澳大利亚12至15岁男孩（74%）和中国12岁以下女孩（75%）。报告的身体活动患病率最低的国家是巴西男性（4%）、沙特阿拉伯女性（2%）和泰国女性（2%），以及俄罗斯17至18岁男孩（0%）和17至18岁女孩（0%）。各国之间身体活动患病率的范围、数据收集方式以及达到身体活动阈值的判定差异很大。然而，这些数据的汇总对从业者、干预者和流行病学家可能是一个有用的资源。
