Physical inactivity may complicate physical and mental health problems among internally displaced persons (IDPs). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of physical inactivity and its sociodemographic correlates among IDPs in Northeastern Nigeria.
A total of 363 participants recruited from four IDP camps were categorized into physically inactive and active using International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to explore the association between physical inactivity and sociodemographic correlates.
The prevalence of physical inactivity was 36.2%. Those who were males (Odd Ratio (OR) = 4.52, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 2.33 to 8.78) and Kanuri (OR = 2.53, 95% CI = 1.44 to 4.45) were more likely to be physically inactive. Younger participants were less likely to be physically inactive than those who were aged >49 years old.
There is a high prevalence of physical inactivity among IDPs in Nigeria, and we found important sociodemographic factors associated with physical inactivity.
缺乏身体活动可能会使国内流离失所者(IDP)的身心健康问题复杂化。本研究旨在评估尼日利亚东北部国内流离失所者中缺乏身体活动的患病率及其社会人口学相关因素。
从四个国内流离失所者营地招募的363名参与者使用国际身体活动问卷被分为缺乏身体活动组和活跃组。采用多元逻辑回归来探讨缺乏身体活动与社会人口学相关因素之间的关联。
缺乏身体活动的患病率为36.2%。男性(优势比(OR)=4.52,95%置信区间(CI)=2.33至8.78)和卡努里人(OR=2.53,95%CI=1.44至4.45)更有可能缺乏身体活动。年轻参与者比49岁以上的参与者更不容易缺乏身体活动。
尼日利亚国内流离失所者中缺乏身体活动的患病率很高,并且我们发现了与缺乏身体活动相关的重要社会人口学因素。
