Little is known of the physical activity behavior of South Asian Indian immigrants (SAIs), though they have more than twice the risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes than Whites. This was a cross-sectional descriptive face-to-face survey design, comparing between men and women in leisure time (LTPA), household (HPA), and occupational physical activity (OPA). Participants also wore a Lifecorder EX (NL2200) accelerometer for 7 days. Just over half (51.8 %) of the participants met the recommended PA guidelines (≥150 min moderate-intensity or ≥75 min vigorous-intensity) through LTPA. The average number of daily steps was 6,904.3, which is in the "low active" classification. Increasing lifestyle PA among SAIs is important; PA interventions appealing to gender and culture and with an aerobic component are needed.
南亚裔印度移民(SAIs)的身体活动行为鲜为人知,尽管他们患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险是白种人的两倍多。这是一项横断面描述性面对面调查设计,比较了男性和女性在休闲时间(LTPA)、家庭(HPA)和职业体力活动(OPA)中的情况。参与者还佩戴了 Lifecorder EX(NL2200)加速度计 7 天。只有略多于一半(51.8%)的参与者通过 LTPA 达到了推荐的 PA 指南(≥150 分钟中等强度或≥75 分钟剧烈强度)。平均每天的步数为 6904.3 步,属于“低活跃”类别。增加南亚裔印度移民的生活方式 PA 非常重要;需要针对性别和文化的 PA 干预措施,并具有有氧运动成分。
