在一个以人口为基础的样本中，对302名女性和256名男性（年龄在25至75岁之间）进行了为期10年的婚姻转变对随后身体活动的潜在影响进行了评估。受试者在整个十年期间的Jive时间点完成了结构化访谈，在此期间，他们报告了自己的身体活动水平以及婚姻状况。从已婚到单身状态的过渡并不影响身体活动相对于保持已婚时，无论是斜率或平均值的分析。与此相反，在整个研究期间，当比较身体活动斜率时，从单身到已婚状态的转变导致身体活动相对于保持单身的显著积极变化，尽管不是平均值。研究结果表明，婚姻可能为身体活动的自然变化奠定基础，这些变化可以通过适当的干预加以利用，但鉴于研究结果的不一致模式，还需要进一步的研究来验证这一点。
The potential effects of making a marital transition on subsequent physical activity were evaluated across a ten-year period in a population-based sample of 302 women and 256 men ages 25 to 75 years. Subjects completed a structured interview at Jive timepoints throughout the ten-year period during which they reported on their physical activity level as well as marital status. The transition from a married to a single state did not affect physical activity relative to remaining married when analyses of either slopes or mean values were used. in contrast, the transition from a single to a married state resulted in significant positive changes in physical activity relative to remaining single throughout the study period when physical activity slopes, though not means, were compared. The results suggest that marriage may potentially set the stage for natural changes in physical activity that could be capitalized on through appropriate intervention, but additional research is needed to verify this in light of the inconsistent pattern of findings.
