An active lifestyle is important for health maintenance and disease prevention. This study was to examine what factors predict an active lifestyle in HIV+ and HIV- adults from the United States Deep South.
The sample included 279 participants (174 HIV+ and 105 HIV-) who completed a comprehensive assessment. An active lifestyle composite was created using variables of employment status, level of social support, level of physical activity, and diet. Correlations and regression analyses were conducted between the active lifestyle composite and possible predictors for all (HIV+ and HIV-), HIV+, and HIV- participants, respectively.
Lower levels of depression, higher socioeconomic status (SES), and younger age were significant predictors of a more active lifestyle for the full sample, HIV+, and HIV- participants, respectively.
SES and depression represent important factors influencing engagement in an active lifestyle in PLWH. Such factors should be considered when developing and implementing lifestyle interventions.
积极的生活方式对维持健康和预防疾病至关重要。本研究旨在探讨哪些因素能够预测美国深南部地区HIV阳性和HIV阴性成年人的积极生活方式。
样本包括279名参与者(174名HIV阳性和105名HIV阴性),他们完成了一项全面评估。利用就业状况、社会支持水平、身体活动水平和饮食等变量创建了一个积极生活方式综合指标。分别对所有参与者(HIV阳性和HIV阴性)、HIV阳性参与者以及HIV阴性参与者进行了积极生活方式综合指标与可能预测因素之间的相关性和回归分析。
较低的抑郁水平、较高的社会经济地位(SES)以及较年轻的年龄分别是整个样本、HIV阳性参与者和HIV阴性参与者更积极生活方式的显著预测因素。
SES和抑郁是影响HIV感染者积极生活方式参与度的重要因素。在制定和实施生活方式干预措施时应考虑这些因素。
