The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of social support factors with leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) of older people in Fuwen village. A cross-sectional study included 523 randomly selected elderly people (60+ years) whose LTPA levels were determined using the shortened version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-S). A modified version of the Physical Activity Social Support Scale (PASSS) was operated to gather perceived scores of the social support factors. A multivariate linear regression was performed to locate associations of perceived scores of social supports with leisure-time walking (LTW) and moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The results indicated that social support from family was positively and significantly related to LTW and MVPA in both models. The community factor was positively and significantly correlated with MVPA in both models. The sport club factor was related to LTW and MVPA to some extent. The results suggest that social support from family is the most important motivator for older people's LTW and MVPA in the village of Fuwen. Social support from the community is the motivator for older people's MVPA. The sport club factor has some effects on older people's LTW and MVPA as well. More future studies are needed to extend the database of the relationship between social support and rural older people's physical activity.
本研究旨在探讨福建省富文村老年人社会支持因素与休闲体育活动（LTPA）之间的关联。一项横断面研究纳入了523名随机抽取的60岁及以上老年人，其休闲体育活动水平采用国际体力活动问卷简版（IPAQ-S）进行测定。运用修订版的体育活动社会支持量表（PASSS）来收集社会支持因素的感知得分。进行多元线性回归以确定社会支持感知得分与休闲步行（LTW）以及中等强度和剧烈体力活动（MVPA）之间的关联。结果表明，在两个模型中，来自家庭的社会支持与休闲步行和中等强度及剧烈体力活动均呈显著正相关。在两个模型中，社区因素与中等强度及剧烈体力活动均呈显著正相关。体育俱乐部因素在一定程度上与休闲步行和中等强度及剧烈体力活动相关。结果表明，在富文村，来自家庭的社会支持是老年人休闲步行和中等强度及剧烈体力活动的最重要激励因素。来自社区的社会支持是老年人中等强度及剧烈体力活动的激励因素。体育俱乐部因素对老年人的休闲步行和中等强度及剧烈体力活动也有一定影响。未来需要更多研究来扩充社会支持与农村老年人体育活动之间关系的数据库。
