This study examined associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with adolescents' immigration status and language spoken at home and with friends.
Participants (N = 2475) were included from Wave 1 of the NEXT Generation Health Study, a nationally representative 10th-grade cohort study starting in 2009. PA included recommended moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and vigorous PA (VPA); SB included screen viewing and social-media use. Linear and logistic regressions were conducted controlling for complex survey variables.
Adolescents with non US-born compared with US-born parents were less likely to engage in VPA (odds ratio = 0.60, p ≤ .05, 95% CI = 0.38-0.96). Parent country of origin and language spoken were not significantly associated with recommended MVPA engagement. None of screen viewing and social-media use was significantly associated with immigration status.
Recent immigration status was negatively associated with adolescents' PA documenting an important health disparity.
本研究考察了青少年的移民身份、家庭和朋友语言与体力活动(PA)和久坐行为(SB)之间的关联。
参与者(N=2475)来自下一代健康研究的第 1 波,这是一项从 2009 年开始的全国代表性的 10 年级队列研究。PA 包括推荐的中等到剧烈 PA(MVPA)和剧烈 PA(VPA);SB 包括屏幕观看和社交媒体使用。通过控制复杂的调查变量,进行了线性和逻辑回归分析。
与父母均为美国出生的青少年相比,父母一方或双方均非美国出生的青少年参与 VPA 的可能性较低(优势比=0.60,p≤0.05,95%可信区间=0.38-0.96)。原籍国和家庭语言与推荐的 MVPA 参与之间没有显著关联。屏幕观看和社交媒体使用与移民身份均无显著关联。
最近的移民身份与青少年的 PA 呈负相关,这反映了一个重要的健康差距。
