简介：我们以工作年龄成年人为样本，研究了休闲体育活动 (LTPA) 感知障碍的社会人口和行为决定因素。方法：数据包括国家 FINRISK 2002 研究，一项基于人群的健康检查研究。分析仅限于 25-64 岁且认为自己的 LTPA 含量未达到足够水平的人群。他们报告了 LTPA 的障碍，定义为缺乏时间、动力和缺乏积极的陪伴，以及高昂的费用。年龄、教育程度、家庭收入、就业状况、家庭类型、体力活动、吸烟和体重指数（BMI）被纳入解释变量。结果：缺乏时间是最常见的障碍。每个障碍都是由一组不同的因素来解释的，这些因素在性别之间也有所不同。年龄、就业状况和家庭类型与障碍的关联性最强、最系统。对于失业者、没有孩子的单身人士和老年人来说，缺乏时间很少被认为是一个障碍。缺乏动力是没有孩子的单身人士中最常见的障碍。失业者更常报告高额费用是一个障碍，而最高收入群体则较少报告。结论：在考虑采取行动促进 LTPA 时，没有单一的解决方案，因为感知到的障碍因人群亚组而异。
Introduction: We examined the socio-demographic and behavioral determinants of perceived barriers to leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in a population-based sample of working-aged adults. Methods: Data comprised the National FINRISK 2002 Study, a population-based health examination study. Analyses were restricted to those aged 25-64 years and who perceived that their amount of LTPA did not reach sufficient levels. They reported barriers to LTPA, defined as a lack of time, motivation and lack of companionship to be active with, as well as high expenses. Age, education, household income, employment status, family type, physical activity, smoking and body mass index (BMI) were included as explanatory variables. Results: Lack of time was the most frequent barrier. Each barrier was explained by a different set of factors that also varied between genders. The strongest and most systematic associations with the barriers were found for age, employment status and family type. Lack of time was less often reported as a barrier among the unemployed, singles without children and older people. Lacking motivation as a barrier was most common among singles without children. High expenses as a barrier was more often reported by the unemployed, and less often reported in the highest income group. Conclusions: When considering actions to promote LTPA, there is not one single solution, because the perceived barriers vary by population subgroups.
