The Nigerian Report card on Physical Activity (PA) in Children and Youth was first developed in 2013 to inform practice and policy on healthy living and prevention of noncommunicable diseases among Nigerian children and youth. This article summarizes the results of the 2016 report card and provides updated evidence on the current situation in Nigeria.
A comprehensive review of literature was undertaken by the Report Card Working Group. Grades were assigned to 10 PA indicators based on the criteria used for the 2013 edition.
Grades assigned to the indicators were Overall PA, D; Active Play and Leisure, C; Active Transportation, B; Sedentary Behaviors (screen-based, F and nonscreen-based, D); Overweight and Obesity, A; PA in Schools, C-; Government/Nongovernment Organizations/Private Sector/Policy, B. The following indicators were graded as Incomplete: Organized Sport and PA, Community and Built Environment, and Family and Peers.
The overall PA levels of Nigerian children and youth seemed to be declining compared with the 2013 Report card but with slight improvement in active play and leisure, and PA in school settings. A substantial number of Nigerian children and youth still have high sedentary behaviors, overweight and obesity. Efforts are needed to promote PA among them.
尼日利亚儿童和青少年身体活动报告卡于2013年首次编制,旨在为尼日利亚儿童和青少年的健康生活及非传染性疾病预防方面的实践和政策提供信息。本文总结了2016年报告卡的结果,并提供了尼日利亚当前状况的最新证据。
报告卡工作组对文献进行了全面回顾。根据2013年版使用的标准,为10项身体活动指标评定等级。
各指标评定的等级为:总体身体活动,D级;积极玩耍和休闲,C级;积极出行,B级;久坐行为(基于屏幕的,F级;非基于屏幕的,D级);超重和肥胖,A级;学校中的身体活动,C-级;政府/非政府组织/私营部门/政策,B级。以下指标评定为不完整:有组织的体育活动和身体活动、社区与建成环境、家庭与同伴。
与2013年报告卡相比,尼日利亚儿童和青少年的总体身体活动水平似乎在下降,但在积极玩耍和休闲以及学校环境中的身体活动方面略有改善。大量尼日利亚儿童和青少年仍然有较高的久坐行为、超重和肥胖问题。需要努力在他们中间推广身体活动。
