目的：探讨发型保养对非裔美国女性运动行为的影响。设计：一项40项的调查，问题涉及头发护理实践，身体活动以及两者之间的关系。环境：北卡罗莱纳州温斯顿-塞勒姆的一个学术医疗中心的大学附属皮肤科。参与者：共调查了123名21至60岁的非裔美国女性；103名女性完成了调查问卷。主要结果测量：确定护发实践与身体活动之间的关系具有统计学意义。调查结果：50%的受访非裔美国女性为了适应锻炼而改变了发型，近40%（37.9%）的女性有时会因为头发相关的问题而避免锻炼。由于头发问题而减少锻炼的受访者，每周锻炼超过150分钟的可能性要低2.9倍（95% CI, 0.9-9.4； P=.08）。结论：皮肤科医生可以在锻炼过程中讨论毛发管理策略，以促进日常锻炼。中华皮肤科杂志，2013;39(3):310-314。2012年12月17日在线发布。doi: 10.1001 / jamadermatol.2013.1946
Objective: To characterize the influence of hairstyle maintenance on exercise behavior in African American women.Design: A 40-item survey with questions concerning hair care practices, physical activity, and the relationship between the two.Setting: University-affiliated dermatology department at an academic medical center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.Participants: A total of 123 African American women from 21 to 60 years of age were surveyed; 103 women completed the questionnaire.Main Outcome Measures: The statistical significance of relationships between hair care practices and physical activity was determined.Results: Fifty percent of African American women surveyed have modified their hairstyle to accommodate exercise and nearly 40% (37.9%) avoid exercise at times owing to hair-related issues. Respondents who exercised less owing to hair concerns were 2.9 times less likely to exercise more than 150 min/wk (95% CI, 0.9-9.4; P=.08).Conclusion: Dermatologists can discuss hair management strategies during exercise that facilitate routinely performing exercise.
