This study aimed to identify the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) behaviors and to examine relationships between biological, sociocultural, and psychological personal factors and these behaviors among young adult Millennials aged 20 years to 32 years. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed on data from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Of the 1,137 respondents, 47% met the recommendations for LTPA, and only 13% and 17% met the recommendations for intake of fruits and vegetables, respectively. Engagement in LTPA was associated with being male, race/ethnicity, and increased education and income. Obesity, measured by body mass index, and poor perceived health status were associated with not meeting the recommendations for LTPA. Increased education was associated with meeting the recommendations for vegetable intake. No other regression models were significant. These findings suggest contemporary young adults would benefit from health promotion efforts.
本研究旨在确定年轻的千禧一代（20 岁至 32 岁）在闲暇时间进行身体活动（LTPA）和摄入水果和蔬菜（FVI）这两种行为的流行率，并探讨生物、社会文化和心理个人因素与这两种行为之间的关系。本研究对 2013-2014 年全国健康和营养调查的数据进行了描述性和推断性统计分析。在 1137 名受访者中，有 47%的人符合 LTPA 建议，只有 13%和 17%的人分别符合摄入水果和蔬菜的建议。进行 LTPA 与男性、种族/民族以及受教育程度和收入增加有关。身体质量指数（BMI）衡量的肥胖和健康状况不佳与不符合 LTPA 建议有关。受教育程度增加与摄入蔬菜符合建议有关。没有其他回归模型具有显著意义。这些发现表明，当代年轻成年人将受益于健康促进工作。
