Physical inactivity prevalence estimates for youth and adults have been published on a global scale and for various geographical and geopolitical permutations. Only one such study has presented estimates for adults in Muslim countries, and it is nearly 10 years old. I conducted an update of this study by incorporating newer data, refining methods, and including youth estimates.
I identified 47 Muslim countries with physical inactivity data for youth, adults, or both. Data were extracted by country primarily from global estimates reported by Guthold et al in 2018 and 2020 and from World Health Organization surveillance data repositories. Weighted prevalence calculations for total prevalence and by sex, ethnicity (Arab vs non-Arab), and country income group accounted for country population, study sample size, and a country's proportion of Muslims. Z tests and chi-square tests, and follow-up odds ratios and percentage deviations, respectively, were used to determine differences by sex, ethnicity, and country income group.
Overall physical inactivity prevalence was 84.2% (youth) and 29.6% (adults). Gaps favoring males over females were observed for youth (5.6% lower prevalence) and adults (9.6% lower prevalence). Gaps favoring non-Arabs over Arabs were observed for youth (3.9% lower) and adults (3.8% lower). No pattern emerged for country income group for youth; however, prevalence for adults trended upward across income groups from low (22.7%) to high (62.0%).
Gaps by sex and ethnicity have narrowed since the original report and prevalence values are somewhat higher than current global estimates.
全球范围内已经发布了针对青年和成年人的身体活动不足流行率估计值，以及针对各种地理和地缘政治组合的估计值。只有一项针对穆斯林国家成年人的此类研究，而且这项研究已经有近 10 年的历史了。我通过纳入更新的数据、改进方法并纳入青年估计值，对这项研究进行了更新。
我确定了 47 个穆斯林国家，这些国家拥有关于青年、成年人或两者的身体活动不足数据。数据主要通过 Guthold 等人在 2018 年和 2020 年报告的全球估计值以及世界卫生组织监测数据存储库从国家层面进行提取。总流行率和按性别、族裔（阿拉伯人与非阿拉伯人）和国家收入组计算的流行率的加权计算考虑了国家人口、研究样本量以及一个国家的穆斯林比例。Z 检验和卡方检验，以及随后的优势比和百分比偏差，分别用于确定性别、族裔和国家收入组之间的差异。
总体身体活动不足的流行率为 84.2%（青年）和 29.6%（成年人）。青年（流行率低 5.6%）和成年人（流行率低 9.6%）中，男性的流行率高于女性。青年（流行率低 3.9%）和成年人（流行率低 3.8%）中，非阿拉伯人的流行率高于阿拉伯人。青年的国家收入组之间没有出现模式；然而，成年人的流行率在从低收入（22.7%）到高收入（62.0%）的收入组中呈上升趋势。
性别和族裔之间的差距自最初报告以来已经缩小，流行率值比当前全球估计值略高。
