Physicians' own Physical Activity (PA) and other health-related habits influence PA promotion. The current study identifies the PA level, according to the current PA recommendations and other health-related habits of physicians from the Catalan Medical Council.
2400 physicians (30-55 years) were randomly selected; each received a self-administered mailed questionnaire identifying medical specialization, work setting, health self-perception, body mass index (BMI), PA, and smoking habits.
762 physicians responded (52% female). Almost 1 in 2 (49.3%) exercised sufficiently, nearly all self-perceived good health, while 80.5% were nonsmokers. Almost 6 in 10 males reported overweight or obesity (56.9%) versus 18.2% of females. Active physicians dominated specific groups: (1) aged 45-55 years, (2) specializing either in primary care or surgery, (3) working in the private sector, (4) BMI < 25 kg/m2, (5) perceiving themselves in good health, or (6) having free leisure time.
Only half of Catalan physicians met current PA recommendations; male physicians were particularly at risk for overweight/obesity. Overweight and under-exercise were associated with private workplaces and positive health perceptions, meaning that it is it is now possible to target inactive and/or overweight Catalan physicians in future interventions.
医生自身的身体活动(PA)及其他与健康相关的习惯会影响PA推广。本研究根据加泰罗尼亚医学委员会医生的当前PA建议及其他与健康相关的习惯,确定其PA水平。
随机选取2400名年龄在30 - 55岁的医生;每人收到一份自行填写的邮寄问卷,问卷内容包括医学专业、工作环境、健康自我认知、体重指数(BMI)、PA及吸烟习惯。
762名医生回复(女性占52%)。近二分之一(49.3%)的医生运动充足,几乎所有人自我感觉健康状况良好,80.5%为非吸烟者。近十分之六的男性报告超重或肥胖(56.9%),而女性为18.2%。活跃的医生在以下特定群体中占主导:(1)年龄在45 - 55岁,(2)从事初级保健或外科专业,(3)在私营部门工作,(4)BMI < 25 kg/m²,(5)自我感觉健康状况良好,或(6)有自由休闲时间。
只有一半的加泰罗尼亚医生达到当前PA建议;男性医生超重/肥胖风险尤其高。超重和运动不足与私营工作场所及积极的健康认知相关,这意味着在未来干预中有可能针对不活跃和/或超重的加泰罗尼亚医生。
