在这项研究中，我们调查了初级保健医生的运动习惯，以及这个变量与他们的年龄，专业和工作场所的关联。这项横断面研究的人群包括1978年至2012年期间毕业于日本自治医科大学的3，310名医生。研究工具是一份自填式问卷，于2012年8月邮寄，以调查初级保健医生的运动习惯，年龄，专业和工作场所。对896名初级保健医生对自填问卷的回答进行了分析。运动频率：每天104例（11.6%），每周至少2-3次235例（26.2%），每周不超过1次225例（25.1%），每月不超过1次278例（31.0%），其他52例（5.8%）。他们的运动强度如下：高（≥6次），264（29.5%）;中等（4-6次），199（22.2%）;轻度（3-4次），295（32.9%）;非常轻度（<3次），68（7.6%）;无，64（7.1%）;其他，6（0.7%）。他们的运动量通过运动频率得分乘以强度得分来计算，以代表他们的运动习惯。多元线性回归分析显示，初级保健医生的运动量与年龄（P<0.01）和工作地点（P<0.01）有关，但与专业无关（P=0.37）。老年组的初级保健医生比年轻组的初级保健医生更有可能拥有更高的运动量（50-60岁> 60岁>40-50岁>30-40岁>24-30岁）。在诊所工作的初级保健医生比在大学医院、综合医院或医院工作的医生更有可能进行更高的运动量。初级保健医生的运动习惯与他们的年龄和工作场所有关，但与他们的专业无关。
In this study, we investigated primary care physicians’ exercise habits, and the association of this variable with their age, specialty, and workplace. The population of this cross-sectional study comprised 3,310 medical doctors who graduated from Jichi Medical University in Japan between 1978 and 2012. The study instrument was a self-administered questionnaire mailed in August 2012 to investigate primary care physicians’ exercise habits, age, specialty, and workplace. The 896 available primary care physicians’ responses to the self-administered questionnaire were analyzed. Their exercise frequency was as follows: daily, 104 (11.6%); at least 2–3 times per week, 235 (26.2%); no more than once a week, 225 (25.1%); no more than once a month, 278 (31.0%); and other, 52 (5.8%). Their exercise intensity was as follows: high (≥6 Mets), 264 (29.5%); moderate (4–6 Mets), 199 (22.2%); mild, (3–4 Mets), 295 (32.9%); very mild (<3 Mets), 68 (7.6%); none, 64 (7.1%); and other, 6 (0.7%). Their exercise volume was calculated to represent their exercise habits by multiplying score for exercise frequency by score for intensity. Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that the primary care physicians’ exercise volumes were associated with their age (P<0.01) and workplace (P<0.01), but not with their specialty (P=0.37). Primary care physicians in the older age group were more likely to have a higher exercise volume than those in the younger age groups (50–60 years > older than 60 years >40–50 years >30–40 years >24–30 years). Primary care physicians working in a clinic were more likely to have a higher exercise volume than those working in a university hospital, polyclinic hospital, or hospital. Primary care physicians’ exercise habits were associated with their age and workplace, but not with their specialty.
