对体力活动（PA）的移民研究可以为预防慢性病提供见解。然而，不清楚的是，移民在东道国居住的时间越长，PA是增加还是减少。在美国，关于移民在美国和PA居住时间的研究是不确定的，许多研究没有充分考虑社会经济地位（SES）的作用。使用加州的数据，我们研究之间的关系，移民一代和身体活动（PA）之间的墨西哥。中国和菲律宾成年人，他们代表了美国三个最大的移民群体，以及SES在多大程度上混淆了这种关系。来自2000年美国人口普查的数据与来自2005年加州健康访谈调查的18岁及以上成年人的数据相关联。PA测量在三个不同的领域：休闲时间（LTPA），非休闲时间（NLTPA）和任何PA。Logistic回归被用来研究是否广泛的SES因素，在受访者和邻里水平，影响移民世代和PA在所有领域和不同种族originationgroups.Generation之间的关系与LTPA墨西哥和中国的成年人和NLTPA所有3个种族originationgroups之间的显着相关，但性质的关系各不相同。调整个人和邻里SES因素后，一代和LTPA之间的正相关仍然存在于墨西哥成年人，一代和NLTPA之间的负相关仍然存在于中国和菲律宾成年人。这些结果强调了移民一代和PA的比较研究，并考虑SES因素，以确定连接代PA的途径的重要性。在慢性病发病率不断上升的背景下，研究移民中PA的转变对促进美国等国家不同人群的公共卫生至关重要。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Migrant studies of physical activity (PA) can provide insight into the prevention of chronic disease. It is unclear, however, whether PA increases or decreases the longer migrants live in their host country. In the US, studies on immigrants' length of residence in the US and PA are inconclusive and many studies do not adequately consider the role of socioeconomic status (SES). Using California data, we examine relationships between immigrant generation and physical activity (PA) among Mexican. Chinese and Filipino adults, who represent the three largest immigrant groups in the US, and the extent to which the relationships are confounded by SES. Data from the 2000 US Census was linked with data on adults 18 years and older from the 2005 California Health Interview Survey. PA was measured in three different domains: leisure time (LTPA), non-leisure time (NLTPA) and any PA. Logistic regression was used to examine whether a wide range of SES factors, measured at the respondent and neighborhood levels, influenced the relationship between immigrant generation and PA in all domains and in different ethnic origin groups.Generation was significantly associated with LTPA among Mexican and Chinese adults and with NLTPA among all 3 ethnic origin groups; however the nature of the relationships varied. After adjusting for individual and neighborhood SES factors, a positive association between generation and LTPA remained among Mexican adults, and negative association between generation and NLTPA remained among Chinese and Filipino adults. These results underscore the importance of comparative studies of immigrant generation and PA and consideration of SES factors to identify pathways linking generation to PA. In the context of increasing rates of chronic disease, the study of transitions in PA among immigrants will continue to be critical to promoting the public health of diverse populations in countries such as the US.
