Previous research suggests an overall lower cardiovascular disease mortality among ethnic German Resettlers from the Former Soviet Union. However, evidence points to a high burden of metabolic risk factors and chronic conditions among Resettlers, factors which are correlated to lower levels of physical activity. Thus, this study aims to assess factors associated with physical activity among Resettlers, by investigating the interplay between biopsychosocial factors and physical activity between men and women.
We conducted a cross-sectional study by administering questionnaires between 2011 and 2012. Data from 595 individuals were analysed, and total and extracurricular physical activity scores were generated. A backward stepwise linear regression was run to investigate the effect of various predictors on various physical activity domains.
Augsburg, Germany.
We targeted Resettlers who had moved to Augsburg, Germany between 1990 and 1999.
Disease and psychological distress were linked to decreasing physical activity in men. Higher socioeconomic status was correlated with increasing physical activity except for work-related physical activity for both men and women. Single women were less likely to report extracurricular activity, and so did women who reported a shorter duration of stay and men who smoked.
Migration experience and culture account for gender-related sex differences in physical activity alongwith other interlocking social factors such as psychological stressors and health status among Resettlers. Individual psychological stressors may hinder or motivate physical activity, but physical activity can reverse the influence of such stressors on Resettlers. Understanding migrant health and experiences is crucial due to the migration influx and health disparities. However, data on this topic are scarce in Germany.
先前的研究表明，来自前苏联的德裔定居者的心血管疾病总体死亡率较低。然而，有证据表明，定居者中代谢风险因素和慢性病的负担很重，这些因素与身体活动水平较低相关。因此，本研究旨在通过调查生物心理社会因素与男女身体活动之间的相互作用，评估定居者中与身体活动相关的因素。
我们在2011年至2012年期间通过发放问卷进行了一项横断面研究。分析了595人的数据，并得出了总的和课外身体活动得分。进行了向后逐步线性回归，以研究各种预测因素对各种身体活动领域的影响。
德国奥格斯堡。
我们的目标是1990年至1999年间移居德国奥格斯堡的定居者。
疾病和心理困扰与男性身体活动的减少有关。较高的社会经济地位与身体活动的增加相关，但男女与工作相关的身体活动除外。单身女性报告进行课外活动的可能性较小，报告停留时间较短的女性以及吸烟的男性也是如此。
移民经历和文化以及其他相互关联的社会因素，如定居者的心理压力源和健康状况，导致了身体活动中与性别相关的差异。个体心理压力源可能会阻碍或促进身体活动，但身体活动可以扭转此类压力源对定居者的影响。由于移民涌入和健康差距，了解移民健康和经历至关重要。然而，德国在这一主题上的数据很少。
