Physical inactivity has become one of the major public health and economic concerns in Western societies. The consequences of physical inactivity are associated with many physical problems, however, the influence of physical activity (PA) on psychological health is unclear. The aims of our study were to assess self-esteem and physical activity levels in postmenopausal women and to examine the association between physical activity levels and self-esteem in this group.
Survey research was conducted on postmenopausal women aged M = 58.81 ± 7.68 in women's health clinics in Silesia, Poland. The total number of participants was 131, and 18 were excluded. A questionnaire with socio-demographic data and other international questionnaires were used: International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Beck Depression inventory.
78.76% of postmenopausal women were physically active. Mean value of MET-min/week was M = 1543.46 ± 1060.92. A total of 11.51% of women reported low self-esteem, with the mean total value of SES M = 31.79 ± 2.93. There was a lack of correlation between total IPAQ score and self-esteem (r = -0.241, = 0.01).
Postmenopausal women have mostly average self-esteem. They are generally active, and walking is the most common form of physical activity, however, a higher PA level does not influence self-esteem.
身体活动不足已成为西方社会主要的公共卫生和经济问题之一。身体活动不足的后果与许多身体问题有关，然而，身体活动对心理健康的影响尚不清楚。我们的研究目的是评估绝经后妇女的自尊和身体活动水平，并研究该群体中身体活动水平与自尊之间的关系。
在波兰西里西亚的妇女健康诊所对年龄为 M = 58.81 ± 7.68 岁的绝经后妇女进行了调查研究。参与者总数为 131 人，其中 18 人被排除在外。使用了一份包含社会人口统计学数据和其他国际问卷的问卷：国际身体活动问卷、罗森伯格自尊量表和贝克抑郁量表。
78.76%的绝经后妇女有身体活动。MET-min/周的平均值为 M = 1543.46 ± 1060.92。共有 11.51%的妇女报告自尊心低，SES 的平均总分 M = 31.79 ± 2.93。总体 IPAQ 评分与自尊之间缺乏相关性（r = -0.241，p = 0.01）。
绝经后妇女的自尊水平大多处于中等水平。她们通常比较活跃，而散步是最常见的身体活动形式，但更高的身体活动水平并不影响自尊。
