This study examined the associations between physical activity and other health behaviors in a representative sample of US adolescents.
In the 1990 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 11631 high school students provided information on physical activity; diet; substance use; and other negative health behaviors. Logistic regression analyses examined associations between physical activity and other health behaviors in a subset of 2652 high-active and 1641 low-active students.
Low activity was associated with cigarette smoking, marijuana use, lower fruit and vegetable consumption, greater television watching, failure to wear a seat belt, and low perception of academic performance. For consumption of fruit, television watching, and alcohol consumption, significant interactions were found with race/ethnicity or sex, suggesting that sociocultural factors may affect the relationships between physical activity and some health behaviors.
Low physical activity was associated with several other negative health behaviors in teenagers. Future studies should examine whether interventions for increasing physical activity in youth can be effective in reducing negative health behaviors.
本研究在美国青少年代表性样本中考察身体活动与其他健康行为之间的关联。
在1990年青少年风险行为调查中，11631名高中生提供了有关身体活动、饮食、物质使用及其他负面健康行为的信息。逻辑回归分析在2652名高活动量和1641名低活动量学生的子集中考察身体活动与其他健康行为之间的关联。
低活动量与吸烟、使用大麻、较低的水果和蔬菜摄入量、较多的看电视时间、不系安全带以及对学业成绩的低认知有关。对于水果摄入、看电视和饮酒，发现与种族/族裔或性别存在显著交互作用，表明社会文化因素可能影响身体活动与某些健康行为之间的关系。
青少年身体活动量低与其他几种负面健康行为有关。未来研究应考察增加青少年身体活动的干预措施是否能有效减少负面健康行为。
