这项系统的混合方法综述的目的是评估目前已知的身体活动（PA）和久坐时间（ST）水平，并将这些行为纳入具有移民背景的南亚女性的背景。使用关键词PA、ST、南亚和移民的组合对文献进行了系统的检索。采用混合方法对所有定量和定性证据进行分析和综合。26项定量研究和12项定性研究被确定为符合纳入标准。量化南亚女性的前列腺癌和ST的研究显示，与南亚男性和欧洲白人相比，前列腺癌水平较低。然而，由于缺乏标准化的PA测量，在研究之间进行有效的比较是具有挑战性的。大多数研究表明，南亚妇女没有达到健康益处所建议的PA量。很少有研究评估st。定性研究中出现的主题包括PA的文化和结构障碍，信仰和教育作为促进因素，以及对南亚妇女PA的推荐量及其益处缺乏了解。定量和定性证据表明，南亚妇女没有达到推荐的PA水平以获得健康益处。这两种类型的研究都受到数据收集方法的限制。更多的研究应该致力于标准化客观的PA测量，并了解如何利用个人和社区的资源来提高南亚妇女的PA水平和整体健康。
The objective of this systematic mixed-methods review is to assess what is currently known about the levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) and to contextualize these behaviors among South Asian women with an immigrant background. A systematic search of the literature was conducted using combinations of the key words PA, ST, South Asian, and immigrant. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze and synthesize all evidence, both quantitative and qualitative. Twenty-six quantitative and twelve qualitative studies were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. Studies quantifying PA and ST among South Asian women showed low levels of PA compared with South Asian men and with white European comparison populations. However making valid comparisons between studies was challenging due to a lack of standardized PA measurement. The majority of studies indicated that South Asian women did not meet recommended amounts of PA for health benefits. Few studies assessed ST. Themes emerging from qualitative studies included cultural and structural barriers to PA, faith and education as facilitators, and a lack of understanding of the recommended amounts of PA and its benefits among South Asian women. Quantitative and qualitative evidence indicate that South Asian women do not perform the recommended level of PA for health benefits. Both types of studies suffer from limitations due to methods of data collection. More research should be dedicated to standardizing objective PA measurement and to understanding how to utilize the resources of the individuals and communities to increase PA levels and overall health of South Asian women.
