自我感知的健康和健身是随后的死亡率和/或功能限制的流行病学预测。本研究旨在分析哪些生活方式因素有助于中年男性员工的自我感觉健康和健身的良好状态。参与者（n = 401），年龄在50 - 59岁之间，被评估为自我感知的健康和健身状况，以及各种生活方式因素，包括营养，吸烟，饮酒，体力活动，心理压力，睡眠和放松。Logistic回归分析显示，在本研究调查的生活方式因素中，中等水平（≥ 4.5METs/每周1 - 2次或≤ 4.5METs/≥ 3 - 4次/每周）的体育锻炼/运动是良好的自我感觉健康的唯一预测因子。同样，在PAI中等水平或以上进行锻炼/运动被确定为良好自我感知健康的唯一独立预测因素。此外，全年保持运动/体育运动的习惯或高于PAI的中等水平，并在生命的第四和第五个十年中保持这种习惯或从50岁到59岁开始保持这种习惯对于获得良好的自我感知健康和健身状态很重要。这些结果表明，休闲时间的身体活动水平是一个决定因素，良好的健康和健身的中年男性员工在本研究中。
Self-perceived health and fitness are epidemiological predictors of subsequent mortality and/or functional limitation. The present study was designed to analyze which lifestyle factors contribute to good status of self-perceived health and fitness in middle-aged male employees. Participants (n=401) aged 50-59 were assessed as to the status of self-perceived health and fitness, and various lifestyle factors including nutrition, smoking, drinking, physical activity, psychological stress, sleeping and relaxation. Logistic regression analysis revealed that among the lifestyle factors surveyed in the present study, doing exercise/sports at a medium level (either greater than or equal to4.5METs/1-2 times per week or less than or equal to4.5METs/greater than or equal to3-4 times per week) of physical activity index (PAI) was the only predictor of good self-perceived health. Similarly, doing exercise/sports at or above the medium level of PAI was identified as the only independent predictor of good self-perceived fitness. In addition, maintaining the habit of doing exercise/sports at or above the medium level of PAI throughout the year, and having this habit through the 4 th and 5th decades of life or starting to have it from the age of 50 through 59 were important to obtain a good status of self-perceived health and fitness. These findings suggest that leisure time physical activity level is a determinant of good health and fitness in the middle-aged male employees in the present study.
