Recent reviews published in the IJBNPA provide more definitive ranges of ambulatory activity usually found in four general age groups, and how step data relates to public health guidelines. Of note in these reviews was the lack of data from Developing Countries. Apart from the lack of published data, available data was not presented in a format conducive to inclusion in the reviews. Consequently, this paper presents available pedometry data from Africa, such that it is easily available for inclusion in future comparisons. Also addressed is the need to consider adjusting prevalence data according to standard population age structures.
最近发表在 IJBNPA 的综述提供了更明确的日常活动范围,通常在四个一般年龄组中发现,以及步数据与公共卫生指南的关系。这些综述中值得注意的是,发展中国家缺乏数据。除了缺乏已发表的数据外,现有的数据也没有以有利于纳入综述的格式呈现。因此,本文提供了来自非洲的可获得计步数据,以便于将来进行比较。还需要考虑根据标准人口年龄结构调整患病率数据。
