Understanding obesity-related health disparities among low-income African Americans in the south requires further research investigating the range of factors influencing health behaviors. This study sought to examine the relationship between meeting the minimum recommendation for moderate physical activity and multilevel, including policy, systems, and environmental, strategies thought to influence health behaviors. We utilize preintervention community survey data from a sample of 256 low-income, predominantly, African Americans in 3 southeastern cities. Results indicate that individual, social, and environmental factors are related to whether participants met the recommended guidelines for physical activity and that sex predicts whether guidelines are met.
了解美国南部低收入非裔美国人中与肥胖相关的健康差异，需要进一步研究影响健康行为的一系列因素。本研究旨在探讨达到适度体育活动最低建议量与被认为会影响健康行为的多层次策略（包括政策、系统和环境策略）之间的关系。我们使用了来自东南部3个城市的256名低收入、以非裔美国人为主的样本的干预前社区调查数据。结果表明，个体、社会和环境因素与参与者是否达到体育活动建议指南有关，并且性别可以预测是否达到指南要求。
