DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): This project aims to examine whether and, if so, how race/ethnic and sex differences in vigorous physical activity, a health promoting behavior, result from disparities in social, economic, and cultural capital across several aging cohorts. Regular, vigorous physical activity, or exercise, is a significant form of investment in health, as it fosters better physical and social-psychological health and lowers levels of morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, race/ethnic and sex differences in physical activity mirror persistent health disparities in the U.S. population. Several objectives follow. First, the candidate will investigate whether inequalities in the costs and benefits of social capital shape exercise behavior across race/ethnic and sex groups. Second, he will examine whether disparities in various dimensions of economic capital, including current and accumulated resources, mediate race/ethnic and sex differences in physical activity. Third, he will elucidate the various dimensions of cultural capital that may shape race and sex differences in physical activity, net of economic and social factors. Finally, the candidate will use the Health and Retirement Study-a recent, longitudinal, panel data set that is nationally representative of U.S. adults aged 50 and over and that over-samples African Americans and Hispanics. This work is relevant to those interested in the social, cultural, and economic factors that shape preventative health measures in the aging and diverse U.S. population.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目旨在研究是否以及，如果是，如何在激烈的体育活动，促进健康的行为，种族/民族和性别差异，导致在社会，经济和文化资本在几个老龄化的队列。经常进行剧烈的体育活动或锻炼是对健康的一种重要投资形式，因为它能促进更好的身体和社会心理健康，降低发病率和死亡率。此外，体育活动中的种族/民族和性别差异反映了美国人口中持续存在的健康差异。以下是几个目标。首先，候选人将调查社会资本的成本和收益的不平等是否会影响种族/民族和性别群体的运动行为。其次，他将研究是否在经济资本的各个方面的差异，包括目前和积累的资源，调解种族/民族和性别差异的体育活动。第三，他将阐明文化资本的各个维度，这些维度可能会影响体育活动中的种族和性别差异，不考虑经济和社会因素。最后，候选人将使用健康和退休研究-一个最近的，纵向的，面板数据集，是全国代表性的美国50岁及以上的成年人，并过度抽样非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人。这项工作是相关的那些感兴趣的社会，文化和经济因素，塑造预防性健康措施在老龄化和多样化的美国人口。
