背景居住在英国的欧洲人、印度人、巴基斯坦人和孟加拉人之间的体力活动水平的差异可能导致这些人群中存在的糖尿病和心血管疾病风险标记物的患病率的差异。方法通过一项基于人群的横断面研究，评估了体力活动的类型和水平(通过多维指数测量)及其与选定的心血管疾病和糖尿病风险因素的关系。在我们的体力活动指数中，52%的欧洲男性不符合目前的体力活动指导方针，相比之下，印度人、巴基斯坦人和孟加拉国人的这一比例分别为71%、88%和87%。据报道，女性也有类似的发现。特别是，欧洲男子和妇女更频繁地参加中等强度和高强度的体育和娱乐活动。总体而言，各民族的体力活动水平与体重指数(BMI)、腰围、收缩压、血糖和胰岛素呈负相关，而与高密度脂蛋白(HDL)无相关性。结论纽卡斯尔南亚人的习惯性体力活动水平显著低于欧洲人。这可能导致这些人群中糖尿病和心血管风险水平较高。迫切需要采取措施增加这些人口的体力活动。
Background Differences in level of physical activity between European, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi populations living in the UK might contribute to differences in the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk markers that exist in these populations.Methods Type and level of physical activity (measured by a multidimensional index) and its relationship with selected cardiovascular disease and diabetes risk factors were assessed in a cross-sectional, population-based study of European, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi men and women, aged 25-75, resident in Newcastle upon Tyne.Results Europeans were found to be more physically active than Indians, Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. On our physical activity index 52 per cent of European men did not meet current guidelines for participation in physical activity compared with 71 per cent of Indians, 88 per cent of Pakistanis and 87 per cent of Bangladeshis. Similar findings are reported for women. In particular, European men and women participated more frequently in moderate and vigorous sport and recreational activities. In general, level of physical activity was inversely correlated with body mass index (BMI), waist measurement, systolic blood pressure, and blood glucose and insulin in all ethnic groups, but did not correlate with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.Conclusions South Asians in Newcastle report significantly lower levels of habitual physical activity than Europeans. This is likely to contribute to the higher levels of diabetes and cardiovascular risk in these populations. Measures to increase physical activity in these populations are urgently needed.
