[Purpose] Based on the relationship between obesity and physical activity, several recent studies have reported that level of exercise is associated with household income. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between household income and physical activity in Korea. [Subjects and Methods] In 2012, 9,000 Koreans (4,479 men and 4,521 women) aged 10-89 years participated in the Korean Survey of Citizens' Sports Participation project. This survey provided us with information on the amount of physical activity undertaken each week and the household incomes of a nationally representative sample of respondents. The relationship between household income and physical activity was then evaluated by conducting multiple logistic regression analysis after controlling for participant age. [Results] The present findings show a strong relationship between household income and physical activity for Korean men and women. [Conclusion] Further well-designed studies should be performed in order to determine the individual effects of household income on physical activity.
[目的]基于肥胖与体育活动之间的关系，最近的几项研究报告称运动水平与家庭收入有关。因此，本研究的目的是探讨韩国的家庭收入与体育活动之间的关系。[对象与方法]2012年，9000名年龄在10 - 89岁的韩国人（4479名男性和4521名女性）参与了韩国公民体育参与调查项目。该调查为我们提供了有关每周体育活动量以及具有全国代表性的受访者样本家庭收入的信息。在控制参与者年龄后，通过进行多元逻辑回归分析来评估家庭收入与体育活动之间的关系。[结果]目前的研究结果表明，韩国男性和女性的家庭收入与体育活动之间存在密切关系。[结论]为了确定家庭收入对体育活动的个体影响，应开展进一步精心设计的研究。
