背景：本研究评估了缺乏身体活动的普遍程度以及社会人口统计学变量对身体活动类别的影响，强调了尼日利亚年轻人缺乏身体活动的相关性。方法：使用国际身体活动问卷将尼日利亚大学 16 至 39 岁年轻人的代表性样本 (n = 1006) 分为身体不活跃、中等活跃和高度活跃三类。计算活动类别的患病率，并使用多项逻辑回归确定每个类别的社会人口统计学相关性的独立关联。结果：缺乏身体活动的患病率为 41%。女性（OR = 1.93；CI：1.49-2.49）、豪萨族（OR = 2.29；CI：1.08-5.84）、BMI > 30 kg/m2（OR = 2.88；CI：1.16-7.17）以及父母年收入< 180,000 NAIRA（OR = 1.69；置信区间：1.04-2.95）。女性（OR = 0.71；CI：0.61-0.95）、BMI在25.0至29.9 kg/m2之间（OR = 0.46；CI：0.23-0.92）和豪萨族（OR = 0.17；CI：0.04-0.74）的人不太可能进行中度活动。结论：确定了重要的社会人口统计学变量，有助于对尼日利亚年轻人缺乏身体活动的相关性进行初步分析。
Background: This study assessed the prevalence of physical inactivity and the influence of sociodemographic variables on physical activity categories, highlighting the correlates of physical inactivity in Nigerian young adults. Methods: A representative sample of young adults age 16 to 39 years (n = 1006) from a Nigerian University were categorized using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire as physically inactive, moderately active, and highly active. Prevalence rates were computed for the activity categories and the independent associations of sociodemographic correlates on each category were determined using the multinomial logistic regression. Results: Physical inactivity prevalence was 41%. More likely to be inactive were females (OR = 1.93; CI: 1.49-2.49), those of Hausa ethnicity (OR = 2.29; CI: 1.08-5.84), having BMI > 30 kg/m2 (OR = 2.88; CI: 1.16-7.17), and those whose parents' annual income was < 180,000 NAIRA (OR = 1.69; CI: 1.04-2.95). Less likely to be moderately active were females (OR = 0.71; CI: 0.61-0.95), those with BMI between 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2 (OR = 0.46; CI: 0.23-0.92), and those of Hausa ethnicity (OR = 0.17; CI: 0.04-0.74). Conclusion: Important sociodemographic variables that can contribute to the preliminary analysis of correlates of physical inactivity among Nigerian young adults were identified.
