People who are physically active enjoy a multitude of health benefits across their lifespan compared with people who are not physically active. However, little research has sought to determine whether those who meet the physical activity (PA) guidelines also engage in other healthy behaviors. The purpose of this study was to compare healthy behaviors of people who met the PA guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to those who did not meet the guidelines.
This was a cross-sectional study using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey conducted in 2017. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests. Odds and adjusted odds ratios were calculated using multiple logistic regressions.
Those who met the PA guidelines were more likely to get a flu shot, have a medical checkup, take human immunodeficiency virus tests, wear seatbelts, and binge drink more frequently, compared with those who did not meet the guidelines. This group is also less likely to be smokers and be overweight or obese in comparison to their inactive counterparts.
The positive association between PA and other healthy behaviors represents synergistic health activities, with healthy behaviors supporting others.
与不活跃的人相比,积极运动的人在整个生命周期中都能享受到许多健康益处。然而,很少有研究试图确定那些符合美国卫生与公众服务部规定的体育活动(PA)指南的人是否也参与了其他健康行为。本研究的目的是比较符合美国卫生与公众服务部制定的 PA 指南的人与不符合指南的人的健康行为。
这是一项横断面研究,使用了 2017 年行为风险因素监测系统调查的数据。采用卡方检验进行描述性统计分析。采用多因素逻辑回归计算比值比和调整比值比。
与不符合指南的人相比,符合 PA 指南的人更有可能接种流感疫苗、进行体检、接受人类免疫缺陷病毒检测、系安全带、更频繁地狂饮,而不太可能吸烟、超重或肥胖。
PA 与其他健康行为之间的正相关关系代表了协同的健康活动,健康行为支持其他行为。
