The aim of this study was to analyze gender and age differences in physical inactivity in Croatia and physical inactivity pattern changes during the five-year period. The study is based on the data obtained from the Croatian Adult Health Cohort Study which was carried out in 2003 and 2008. The prevalence of physical inactivity in 2008 was 37.7%, 36.8% in men and 38.1% in women. In both study waves the prevalence was increasing with age in both men and women. The prevalence is statistically significantly higher in subjects older than 64 years than in younger age groups. The incidence of physical inactivity in the five-year period in total was 29.9%, 27.2% in men and 31.1% in women. The increase in prevalence of physical inactivity despite the number of preventive activities carried out periodically emphasizes the need for systematic and comprehensive approach in increasing the number of regularly physically active individuals.
本研究旨在分析克罗地亚身体活动不足方面的性别和年龄差异，以及五年期间身体活动不足模式的变化。该研究基于2003年和2008年进行的克罗地亚成人健康队列研究所得数据。2008年身体活动不足的患病率为37.7%，男性为36.8%，女性为38.1%。在两个研究阶段，男性和女性的患病率均随年龄增长而上升。64岁以上人群的患病率在统计学上显著高于年轻年龄组。五年期间身体活动不足的发生率总计为29.9%，男性为27.2%，女性为31.1%。尽管定期开展了多项预防活动，但身体活动不足的患病率仍在上升，这凸显了采取系统和全面方法来增加经常进行体育活动的人数的必要性。
