目的：尽管体力活动(PA)对公众健康的重要性得到了广泛的认可，但很少有研究研究孟加拉国的PA水平。研究设计：横断面调查。方法：对孟加拉达卡市8所中学的798名13~17岁学生进行问卷调查，其中48%为女生。父母填写了一份单独的问卷，以提供家庭/家庭层面的数据。结果：2/3(66%)的青少年达到每天60min/d的中度到剧烈PA(MVPA)的建议，其中男孩多于女孩(分别为76%和55%)。报告中最常见的活动是徒步旅行(42%)、板球(33%)和家务(30%)。多变量模型显示，女生的PA与母亲的文化程度、步行上学、参加学校体育活动、是否拥有家庭体育器材呈正相关。结论：孟加拉1/3的青少年活动不够活跃，女孩的活跃程度低于男孩。步行上学和获得包括操场和家庭设备在内的体育设施对于促进孟加拉国青少年的活动可能很重要，特别要注意女孩。(C)2016年皇家公共卫生学会。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Objectives: Despite the widely acknowledged public health importance of physical activity (PA), few studies have examined levels of PA in Bangladesh. The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns and correlates of PA in adolescents in Bangladesh.Study design: Cross-sectional survey.Methods: A total of 798 students, aged 13-17 years; 48% girls, from eight purposively selected secondary schools in Dhaka city, Bangladesh completed a self-administered questionnaire including the 3-Day PA Recall. Parents completed a separate questionnaire to provide household/family-level data. Multilevel generalized linear modelling was used to identify the correlates of PA for boys and girls.Results: Two-thirds (66%) of the adolescents met the recommendations of 60 min/day of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) daily, with more boys than girls (76% and 55%, respectively). The most common activities reported were walking for travel (42%), cricket (33%) and household chores (30%). Multivariable modelling showed that girls' PA was positively associated with mother's education level, walking to school, involvement in school sports and having home sports equipment. Boys' PA was positively associated with mother's employment, havinghome sports equipment, having a playground at school and walking to school.Conclusions: One third of adolescents in Bangladesh were insufficiently active with girls less active than boys. Walking to school and access to sports facilities including playgrounds and home equipment may be important to promote activity among Bangladeshi adolescents, with special attention to the girls.
