Although stair climbing could contribute to daily physical activity goals, and there is potential for broad population reach, most stair climbing interventions are single-component and have limited effect.
In a longitudinal quasiexperimental study, a 1-month multicomponent intervention, followed by 6 months with point-of-choice prompts, was evaluated in a six-story university building. All floors climbed and lifts ascended were measured by infrared people counters. Regular building occupants were invited to participate in the Stairtember Challenge intervention component.
During the intervention, stair climbing increased by 15%. Stair to lift ratios increased from 0.46 to 0.56 (odds ratio 1.22; 95% confidence interval 1.18 to 1.27).
The multicomponent stair climbing intervention achieved a moderate increase in average daily stair climbing and stair to lift ratio. As these effects are larger than previously found for traditional signage-based interventions, future interventions should go beyond posters for larger effects on population health.
虽然爬楼梯可以帮助人们达到日常身体活动目标,而且具有广泛的受众潜力,但大多数爬楼梯干预措施都是单一组成部分,效果有限。
在一项纵向类实验研究中,在一栋 6 层的大学建筑中,对为期 1 个月的多组分干预措施进行了评估,随后进行了 6 个月的选择点提示。通过红外人体计数器测量所有爬过的楼层和电梯上升的次数。邀请常驻大楼的人员参与“九月爬楼梯挑战”干预部分。
在干预期间,爬楼梯的次数增加了 15%。楼梯与电梯的比例从 0.46 增加到 0.56(优势比 1.22;95%置信区间 1.18 至 1.27)。
多组分爬楼梯干预措施使平均每日爬楼梯和楼梯与电梯比例适度增加。由于这些效果大于之前基于传统标志的干预措施所发现的效果,因此未来的干预措施不应仅仅局限于海报,而应采取更大的措施来提高人口健康水平。
