背景：美国成年人无休闲时间身体活动（LTPA）的患病率估计在24%至30%之间。然而，这些信息通常不包括非西班牙裔黑人、墨西哥裔美国人和老年人的患病率估计。目的：评估美国成年人参与休闲时间体育活动的流行程度。方法：1988年至1991年间，作为第三次全国健康与营养检查调查的一部分，9488名20岁及以上的成年人在家中接受了采访。还包括在一个流动中心进行门诊检查。墨西哥裔美国人、非西班牙裔黑人和老年人进行了过度抽样，以对这些群体进行可靠的估计。问题是关于体力活动爱好、运动和锻炼的类型和频率。结果：从1988年到1991年，美国20岁及以上成年人无LTPA的患病率为22%。女性的比例（27%）高于男性（17%）。墨西哥裔美国男性（33%）、女性（46%）和非西班牙裔黑人女性（40%）无LTPA的比例最高。每周5次或以上的中度至剧烈LTPA的参与随着年龄的增长而减少，在非西班牙裔黑人男性和女性中观察到最大的减少。在几乎所有亚群中，园艺和/或庭院工作和步行被认为是两种首选的ltpa。结论：许多美国人在闲暇时间不运动或不规律地运动。不运动的比例在女性、老年人、非西班牙裔黑人和墨西哥裔美国人中更高。旨在促进所有美国人终生体育活动的干预策略是一项主要的健康优先事项。
Background: The prevalence of no leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among US adults is estimated to be between 24% and 30%. Such information, however, usually does not include prevalence estimates for non-Hispanic blacks, Mexican Americans, and the elderly.Objective: To assess the prevalence of participation in leisure-time physical activity among US adults.Methods: Between 1988 and 1991, 9488 adults aged 20 years and older were interviewed in their home as part of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A clinic examination in a mobile center was also included. Mexican Americans, non-Hispanic blacks, and the elderly were oversampled to produce reliable estimates for these groups. Questions were asked about the type and frequency of physically active hobbies, sports, and exercises.Results: The prevalence of no LTPA for US adults aged 20 years or older from 1988 through 1991 was 22%. The rate was higher in women (27%) than in men (17%). Mexican-American men (33%) and women (46%) and non-Hispanic black women (40%) had the highest rates of no LTPA. Participation in moderate to vigorous LTPA five or more times per week decreased with age, with the largest decreases observed among non-Hispanic black men and women. In almost all subpopulations, gardening and/or yard work and walking were stated as the two top LTPAs of choice.Conclusions: Many Americans are inactive or irregularly active during their leisure time. Rates of inactivity are greater for women, older persons, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans. Intervention strategies meant to promote lifetime physical activities among all Americans represents a major health priority.
