目标：这篇文章是由欧洲晴雨表58.2收集的关于欧盟15个成员国身体活动的数据的四个系列中的第一个。在一个描述性和多变量的水平上，分析调查身体活动和自测health.Methods在不同nations.Methods之间的关系：数据收集在2002年的一部分，欧洲晴雨表面对面的访谈。共有16230名15岁及以上的受访者接受了采访。在大多数国家，样本量约为1000名受访者。体力活动状态（不够活跃，足够活跃，高度活跃）进行了评估，使用最后7天的短版本的国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ）。结果：在一个描述性的分析水平，结果表明身体活动状态和自测健康之间的正相关关系，按年龄，性别，收入和教育程度划分的人群亚组。此外，在多变量水平的分析，体力活动状态显着相关的一个更好的自我评价的健康。在国家一级的分析，身体活动状况的预测能力的一些变化，自我评价health.Conclusion：结果提供了一些指示身体活动之间的正相关关系，评估与IPAQ，和自我评价的健康。在大多数国家，足够的身体活动水平与自我评估的健康状况没有正相关，这可能是因为评估适度形式的身体活动存在困难，以及身体活动发生的背景（在家，休闲，工作，交通）的差异。
Ojectives: This article is the first in a series of four that present data about physical activity in the 15 member states of the European Union collected by the Eurobarometer 58.2. On a descriptive and multivariate level, the analysis investigates the relationship between physical activity and self-rated health in the different nations.Methods: Data were collected in 2002 as part of the Eurobarometer by face-to-face interviews. A total of 16 230 respondents age 15 years and older were interviewed. Sample sizes ranged about 1000 respondents in most nations. Physical activity status (insufficiently active, sufficiently active, and highly active) was assessed using the last 7-days short-version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).Results: On a descriptive level of analysis, results indicated positive relationships between physical activity status and self-rated health across populations subgroups as divided by age, gender, income, and educational attainment. Also on a multivariate level of analysis, physical activity status was significantly related to a better self-rated health. In an analysis on the national level, some variations in the predictive power of physical activity status for self-rated health could be observed.Conclusion: Results provide some indication for a positive relationship between physical activity, as assessed with the IPAQ, and self-rated health. That in most nations sufficient levels of physical activity were not positively related to self-rated health might be explained by difficulties in assessing moderate forms of physical activity, and also differences of the context (at home, for leisure, at work, for transportation) where physical activity takes place.
