Because physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) are two distinct, interdependent behaviors, increases in PA may influence SB. As a limited number of SB interventions have been tested in Latino/Hispanic samples,. The purpose of this study is to assess if there was more PA and less SB in a Hispanic border community where there had been a PA-targeted community-wide campaign since 2005.
This cross-sectional study included Hispanic adults (N = 676) sampled from both intervention and comparison Texas-Mexico border communities in 2010. Our dependent variable was four-categories based on meeting PA guidelines and excessive SB (≥540 mins/day) cut-points. We conducted adjusted multivariable analysis to assess the association of intervention group with the PA/SB groupings.
In 2010, most adults were in the Low PA/Low SB group. Compared to the comparison group, the intervention group had 6.45 (p < 0.001) times the adjusted odds of being in the High PA/Low SB vs. Low PA/High SB group.
Five years into the campaign, more PA and less SB were more likely in the intervention community, indicating the association of some PA interventions with SB. PA-targeted interventions should capture effects on SB to expand the literature on effective SB interventions for Hispanic adults.
由于身体活动(PA)和久坐行为(SB)是两种截然不同且相互依存的行为,因此 PA 的增加可能会影响 SB。由于在拉丁裔/西班牙裔样本中仅测试了少数 SB 干预措施,因此,本研究旨在评估自 2005 年以来一直针对 PA 进行社区范围宣传的西班牙裔边境社区中是否有更多的 PA 和更少的 SB。
本横断面研究于 2010 年纳入了来自干预组和对照组得克萨斯州-墨西哥边境社区的西班牙裔成年人(N=676)。我们的因变量基于是否符合 PA 指南和久坐行为(≥540 分钟/天)的切点分为四组。我们进行了调整后的多变量分析,以评估干预组与 PA/SB 分组之间的关联。
在 2010 年,大多数成年人属于低 PA/低 SB 组。与对照组相比,干预组的调整后odds 比为 6.45(p<0.001),处于高 PA/低 SB 组与低 PA/高 SB 组的可能性更高。
在宣传活动进行五年后,干预社区中更有可能进行更多的 PA 和更少的 SB,这表明某些 PA 干预措施与 SB 有关。针对 PA 的干预措施应捕捉到对 SB 的影响,以扩大针对西班牙裔成年人的有效 SB 干预措施的文献。
