目标.本研究通过使用各种定义描述了少数民族妇女的体育活动模式，并确定了该人群中体育活动的社会人口统计学和行为相关性。在1996年和1997年，在以下种族/民族的40岁及以上的美国妇女（n = 2912）中进行了一项横断面研究：非裔美国人、美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加土著人、西班牙裔和白人。非裔美国人和美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民的体力活动最低（无休闲时间活动的校正比值比[OR]分别为1.35 [95%置信区间（CT）= 1.08，1.68]和1.65 [95% CI = 1.33，2.06]）。当使用职业活动而不是更传统的休闲活动评估来确定身体活动水平时，被归类为Deme体力活动的妇女比例要高得多。活动根据对体力活动的综合定义，72%的受访者报告说他们正在进行体力活动。生活在农村地区的妇女（OR = 1.33，95%CI = 1.12，1.58）比城市居民更有可能在闲暇时间完全不活动。少数民族妇女是美国社会中最不活跃的亚群体之一，尽管当考虑到身体活动的所有领域时，并非所有群体都不如白色妇女活跃。
Objectives. This study describes the patterns of physical activity among minority women by using a variety of definitions and determines sociodemographic and behavioral correlates of physical activity in this population.Methods. a cross-sectional study was conducted in 1996 and 1997 among US women 40 year; and older (n = 2912) of the following racial/ethnic groups: African American, American Indian/ Alaskan Native, Hispanic, and White.Results. Physical activity was lowest among African American and American Indians/Alaskan Natives (adjusted odds ratios [ORs] for no leisure-time activity were 1.35 [95% confidence interval (CT)= 1.08, 1.68] and 1.65 [95% CI = 1.33, 2.06], respectively). A much higher proportion of women were classified as Deme physically active when occupational activity rather than more traditional assessments of leisure activity were used to determine level of physical. activity. Bn the basis of a composite definition of physical activity 72% of respondents reported being physically active. Women living in rural regions (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.12, 1.58) were more likely than urban inhabitants to be completely inactive during leisure time.Conclusions. Minority women are among the least active subgroups in American society, although not all groups are less active than White women when all domains of physical activity are taken into account.
