在芬兰，体育活动的社会经济差异趋势基本上是未知的。在这项研究中，我们研究了1978年至2002年芬兰人在闲暇时间和通勤体力活动的社会经济趋势。全国范围内的数据来自每年重复的跨部门芬兰成人健康行为调查。25岁以下的人，学生，失业者和退休人员被排除在分析之外。最终数据集包括25513名女性和25302名男性。社会经济变量包括教育、职业和家庭收入。计算身体活动的优势比和95%置信区间。收入最低的人闲暇时间较少，通勤时身体活动较少。在女性中，低职业地位与高通勤体力活动，而在男性中，这样的协会没有发现。没有教育差异，男性之间的休闲时间和通勤体力活动随着时间的推移。一些迹象表明，教育差异，在休闲时间体力活动的妇女可能已经扭转。我们的数据表明，在休闲时间和通勤体力活动的社会经济差异是相当小的，并保持类似的1978年和2002年之间。
The trend of socioeconomic differences in physical activity is largely unknown in Finland. In this study, we examined socioeconomic trends in leisure-time and commuting physical activity among Finns in 1978-2002. Nationwide data were derived from an annually repeated cross-sectional Finnish Adult Health Behavior Survey. People under the age of 25, students, the unemployed, and retirees were excluded from the analysis. The final data set included 25 513 women and 25 302 men. Socioeconomic variables included education, occupation, and household income. Odds ratios for being physically active and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. People with the lowest income were less leisure-time and commuting physically active. Among women, low occupational status was associated with high commuting physical activity whereas among men such an association was not found. No educational differences among men in leisure-time and commuting physical activity over time were found. Some indications were found that educational differences in leisure-time physical activity among women might have been reversed. Our data suggest that socioeconomic differences in leisure-time and commuting physical activity are quite small and have remained similar between 1978 and 2002.
