The benefits of physical activity are well established, yet large numbers of people are not sufficiently active to gain health benefits. Certain population groups are less physically active than others, including older women from areas of high economic deprivation. The Well!Bingo project was established with the aim of engaging such women in the development of a health promotion intervention in a bingo club. This paper reports on the assessment of health status, physical activity and sedentary behaviour of women attending a bingo club in central Scotland, UK as part of the Well!Bingo project.
Women attending the bingo club were invited to provide information on demographic characteristics, and self-reported physical activity and sedentary behaviour via a self-complete questionnaire as part of a cross-sectional study (n = 151). A sub-sample (n = 29) wore an accelerometer for an average of 5.7 ± 1.4 days. Differences between younger (under 60 years) and older adults (60 years and over) were assessed using a chi-square test for categorical data and the independent samples t-test was used to assess continuous data (p < 0.05).
The mean age was 56.5 ± 17.7 years, with 57% living in areas of high deprivation (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation quintile one and two). Sixty-three percent of women (n = 87) reported they were meeting physical activity guidelines. However, objective accelerometer data showed that, on average, only 18.1 ± 17.3 min a day were spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Most accelerometer wear time was spent sedentary (9.6 ± 1.7 h). For both self-report and accelerometer data, older women were significantly less active and more sedentary than younger women. On average, older women spent 1.8 h more than younger women in sedentary activities per day, and took part in 21 min less moderate to vigorous physical activity (9.4 mins per day).
The findings of this study suggest that bingo clubs are settings that attract women from areas of high deprivation and older women in bingo clubs in particular would benefit from interventions to target their physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Bingo clubs may therefore be potential intervention settings in which to influence these behaviours.
体育活动的益处已得到充分证实，但仍有大量人群缺乏足够的运动量以获得健康益处。某些人群的身体活动量低于其他人群，包括来自经济高度贫困地区的老年女性。“健康宾果”项目旨在让这类女性参与到宾果俱乐部健康促进干预措施的制定中。本文报告了作为“健康宾果”项目一部分，对英国苏格兰中部一家宾果俱乐部女性的健康状况、体育活动和久坐行为的评估。
作为一项横断面研究的一部分，邀请参加宾果俱乐部的女性通过自填问卷提供人口统计学特征、自我报告的体育活动和久坐行为信息（n = 151）。一个子样本（n = 29）佩戴加速度计平均5.7 ± 1.4天。使用卡方检验评估分类数据中年轻（60岁以下）和老年成年人（60岁及以上）之间的差异，独立样本t检验用于评估连续数据（p < 0.05）。
平均年龄为56.5 ± 17.7岁，57%的人生活在高度贫困地区（苏格兰多重贫困指数五分位数一和二）。63%的女性（n = 87）报告她们达到了体育活动指南的要求。然而，客观的加速度计数据显示，平均每天中度至剧烈体育活动的时间仅为18.1 ± 17.3分钟。加速度计记录的大部分时间都处于久坐状态（9.6 ± 1.7小时）。对于自我报告和加速度计数据，老年女性的活动量明显低于年轻女性，久坐时间更长。平均而言，老年女性每天久坐活动的时间比年轻女性多1.8小时，中度至剧烈体育活动的时间少21分钟（每天9.4分钟）。
本研究结果表明，宾果俱乐部吸引了来自高度贫困地区的女性，尤其是宾果俱乐部中的老年女性将从针对其体育活动和久坐行为的干预措施中受益。因此，宾果俱乐部可能是影响这些行为的潜在干预场所。
