Regular physical activity provides important health benefits for women, including lower risks for coronary heart disease, some cancers, osteoporosis, and other leading causes of death and disability (1-3). Despite such benefits, the proportion of women in the United States reporting regular physical activity has been low (4). Because even moderately intense physical activity has substantial health benefits, public health recommendations for physical activity have been expanded to a broader spectrum of activity, including gardening, walking, and housework in addition to more vigorous aerobic exercise (e.g., jogging) (5,6). To improve estimates of the prevalence of participation in physical activity at levels associated with health benefits among adult women, data about leisure-time physical activity were analyzed from the 1992 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). This report summarizes the results of these analyses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
规律的体育活动对女性健康有益，包括降低患冠心病、某些癌症、骨质疏松症以及其他主要死亡和残疾原因的风险（1 - 3）。尽管有这些益处，但美国报告称有规律体育活动的女性比例一直较低（4）。由于即使是适度强度的体育活动也有显著的健康益处，因此针对体育活动的公共卫生建议已扩大到更广泛的活动范围，除了更剧烈的有氧运动（如慢跑）外，还包括园艺、散步和家务劳动（5,6）。为了更好地估计成年女性参与与健康益处相关水平体育活动的患病率，我们分析了1992年行为危险因素监测系统（BRFSS）中关于休闲时间体育活动的数据。本报告总结了这些分析结果。（摘要截短至250字）
