This study examined the logistical, practical, and cultural preferences of Latinos regarding the design of a healthy eating, physical activity, and body image intervention. Puerto Rican and Mexican men ( = 203) completed an interview as part of an NIH-funded study. Overall, 66.5% preferred the intervention to be in Spanish only or both Spanish and English; 88.67% said it was moderately, very or extremely important for the intervention leader to be bilingual; and 66.01% considered it moderately to extremely important for the leader to be Hispanic or Latino. Most participants (83.74%) reported they would be willing to attend an intervention that met twice per week and 74.38% said they would be willing to attend an intervention that met for 1.5 to 2 h, twice weekly. Overall, the majority said they would be moderately to extremely interested in attending an exercise program if it consisted of aerobics with Latin or salsa movements (74.88%) and if it consisted of aerobics with Latin or salsa music (70.44%). Some participants were moderately to extremely interested in attending an intervention if it included (Latino sayings) (65.02%) and (folktales or stories) (69.46%). The findings have implications for lifestyle and body image interventions aimed at preventing cardiometabolic diseases.
本研究考察了拉丁裔人群在设计健康饮食、身体活动和身体意象干预措施时的后勤、实际和文化偏好。203 名波多黎各和墨西哥男性完成了 NIH 资助研究中的一项访谈。总体而言，66.5%的人更喜欢仅西班牙语或西班牙语和英语双语的干预措施；88.67%的人表示双语干预措施的领导者非常重要；66.01%的人认为领导者是西班牙裔或拉丁裔非常重要。大多数参与者（83.74%）表示他们愿意参加每周两次的干预活动，74.38%的人表示他们愿意参加每周两次、每次 1.5 到 2 小时的干预活动。总体而言，如果运动项目包含拉丁舞或莎莎舞动作的有氧运动（74.88%），或者包含拉丁舞或莎莎舞音乐的有氧运动（70.44%），大多数人表示他们会非常感兴趣地参加。如果干预措施包括（拉丁谚语）（65.02%）和（民间故事或传说）（69.46%），一些参与者也会非常感兴趣地参加。这些发现对旨在预防心血管代谢疾病的生活方式和身体意象干预措施具有启示意义。
