背景资料：缺乏身体活动是慢性病的一个重要风险因素，但对于许多国家（主要是发展中国家）来说，尚未公布患病率数据。目标：提供51个国家以及这些国家不同年龄组和环境的缺乏身体活动患病率数据。研究方法：数据分析（2007年进行）包括来自212 021名成年参与者的数据，这些参与者的问卷是从参加世界卫生调查（2002-2003年）的51个国家的259 526名成年观察者中挑选出来的。经验证的国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ）被用来评估天和持续时间的剧烈，中度，和步行activities在过去7 days.Results：国家患病率的体力活动不足的范围从1.6%（科摩罗）至51.7%（毛里塔尼亚）的男性和3.8%（科摩罗）至71.2%（毛里塔尼亚）的女性。缺乏身体活动是普遍较高的老年组和较低的农村相比，城市area.Conclusions：总体而言，约15%的男性和20%的女性从这里分析的51个国家（其中大部分是发展中国家）是在慢性疾病的风险，由于缺乏身体活动。不同国家和不同环境的情况有很大差异。本研究提供的关于缺乏身体活动问题严重程度的基线信息可以帮助各国和卫生政策制定者制定应对全球慢性病流行的干预措施。
Background: Physical inactivity is an important risk factor for chronic diseases, but for many (mainly developing) countries, no prevalence data have ever been published.Objective: To present data on the prevalence of physical inactivity for 51 countries and for different age groups and settings across these countries. Methods: Data analysis (conducted in 2007) included data from 212,021 adult participants whose questionnaires were culled from 259,526 adult observations from 51 countries participating in the World Health Survey (2002-2003). The validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess days and duration of vigorous, moderate, and walking activities during the last 7 days.Results: Country prevalence of physical inactivity ranged from 1.6% (Comoros) to 51.7% (Mauritania) for men and from 3.8% (Comoros) to 71.2% (Mauritania) for women. Physical inactivity was generally high for older age groups and lower in rural as compared to urban areas.Conclusions: Overall, about 15% of men and 20% of women from the 51 countries analyzed here (most of which are developing countries) are at risk for chronic diseases due to physical inactivity. There were substantial variations across countries and settings. The baseline information on the magnitude of the problem of physical inactivity provided by this study can help countries and health policymakers to set up interventions addressing the global chronic disease epidemic.
