Physical activity and healthy diets are determinants of the health of convicts who are deprived of freedom. However, little research has focused on these two aspects concurrently. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationships between the level of prisoners' physical activity and their dietary habits, diet quality, and nutritional knowledge. The cross-sectional study was conducted with 226 prisoners. The inclusion criteria included male sex, age 18-65 years, and consent for the research. We excluded the subjects who met any of the following conditions: female sex, unwillingness to participate, and dangerous prisoner status. The KomPAN questionnaire was used to assess the prisoners' eating habits, diet quality, and level of nutrition knowledge. The "Last 7d" short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess the prisoners' level of physical activity. A significant correlation between the prisoners' age and their levels of physical activity was found ( = 0.008). Prisoners who were aged 18-29 and over 40 declared a low level of physical activity, whereas those aged 30-40 reported a high or medium level. The level of physical activity of the surveyed prisoners was not significantly correlated with their dietary habits, the quality of their diet, or their nutrition knowledge.
体育活动和健康饮食是被剥夺自由的罪犯健康的决定因素。然而，很少有研究同时关注这两个方面。本研究旨在分析囚犯体育活动水平与其饮食习惯、饮食质量和营养知识之间的关系。这是一项横断面研究，共纳入了 226 名囚犯。纳入标准包括男性、年龄在 18-65 岁之间以及同意参与研究。我们排除了以下条件的受试者：女性、不愿意参与和危险囚犯身份。KomPAN 问卷用于评估囚犯的饮食习惯、饮食质量和营养知识水平。国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ）的“过去 7 天”简短形式用于评估囚犯的体力活动水平。囚犯的年龄与他们的体力活动水平之间存在显著相关性（ = 0.008）。18-29 岁和 40 岁以上的囚犯报告体力活动水平较低，而 30-40 岁的囚犯报告体力活动水平较高或中等。调查囚犯的体力活动水平与他们的饮食习惯、饮食质量或营养知识之间没有显著相关性。
