The aim of the study was to determine associations between physical activity and other elements of women's lifestyle (nutrition, being a nonsmoker, moderate alcohol consumption, medical check-ups). Between 1999 and 2004, 1361 women aged 20-75 were studied. They were inhabitants of cities located in the west of Poland and engaged in physical activity (purposeful selection). The subjects fell into four groups depending on the length of their physical exercise history: G I - those who had been exercising for 1 year; G II [1-4); G III [4-6); G IV [≥7). The diagnostic poll method was employed, (questionnaire and interview techniques). For the verification of the research hypotheses concerning the influence of socio-demographic factors on women's physical activity, the evaluation of changes in health-related behaviors resulting from long term physical activity, indication of associated behaviors, the independence χ(2) test and multiple correspondence analysis were used. Women's physical activity was found to be related to maintenance of proper weight (BMI) (p≤0.05), moderate consumption of low-alcohol beverages (p≤0.05) and regular dental check-ups (p≤0.05). Despite more frequent attempts to take up smoking, the respondents gave up the habit two times as often as the whole population of women in Poland. These correlations were more apparent among women with longer exercise histories, who mostly had post-secondary education. Occurrence of associated behaviors affecting health positively and negatively was also shown, the latter concerning a smaller group of respondents. The noticed correlations between physical activity and health behaviors, which comprehensively influence lifestyle, may be of importance in gradual reduction of risk factors.
本研究旨在确定身体活动与女性生活方式的其他因素（营养、不吸烟、适量饮酒、体检）之间的关联。1999 年至 2004 年间，研究了 1361 名年龄在 20-75 岁的女性。她们是居住在波兰西部城市的居民，并从事体育活动（有目的的选择）。根据体育锻炼史的长短，受试者分为四组：G I - 那些已经锻炼了 1 年的人；G II [1-4)；G III [4-6)；G IV [≥7)。采用诊断性民意测验法（问卷和访谈技术）。为了验证有关社会人口因素对女性身体活动影响的研究假设，评估长期身体活动导致的与健康相关的行为变化，指出相关行为，使用独立性 χ(2)检验和多元对应分析。女性的身体活动与保持适当体重（BMI）有关（p≤0.05）、适量饮用低酒精饮料（p≤0.05）和定期进行牙齿检查（p≤0.05）。尽管女性更频繁地试图吸烟，但与波兰整个人口相比，她们戒烟的次数是其两倍。这些相关性在运动史较长的女性中更为明显，她们大多接受过高等教育。还显示了对健康产生积极和消极影响的相关行为的发生，后者涉及到较小的受访者群体。注意到身体活动与健康行为之间的相关性，这些行为综合影响生活方式，可能对逐步减少风险因素具有重要意义。
