背景：瑜伽是一种全面的练习，可能会提供几种健康益处。还没有研究在欧洲国家的人口水平上研究瑜伽练习的流行率、时间趋势或相关性，世界范围内也很少有这样的研究。这项研究的目的是调查1997至2008年间瑜伽练习在英国的流行率、趋势和相关性。FINDINGS：分析是在2013年初进行的，使用的是英格兰健康调查数据。代表居住在英格兰的成年人的独立队列在1997-1999年、2003-2004年和2006/2008年按年度周期进行了调查。在每个时间点确定瑜伽练习的流行率(定义为过去四周内的任何练习)，并使用多元Logistic回归分析时间趋势(以1997-1999年为参考时间点)和瑜伽练习的相关性。1997-1999年、2003-2004年和2006/2008年的瑜伽普及率分别为0.46%(95%CI：0.39%-0.52%)、0.94%(0.83%-1.06%)和1.11%(0.95%-1.28%)。在英国，瑜伽参与者更有可能是年龄较大的女性，受过高等教育，来自非体力社会阶层，较低的BMI，较好的自我评估总体健康，不活跃的职业，以及较高的中等至剧烈体力活动。经年龄、性别、社会阶层和长期患病调整后，1997年至2008年瑜伽练习呈显著增长趋势(2003/04年OR=1.93，95%CI：1.59-2.34；2006/08年OR=2.19，95%CI：1.77-2.71)。结论：瑜伽练习的受欢迎程度有所提高，但绝对率仍然相对较低。未来的人口研究应该更全面地研究瑜伽练习的背景、背景、风格、相关性和健康益处。
BACKGROUND: Yoga is a holistic practice that may offer several health benefits. No study has examined the prevalence, temporal trends, or correlates of yoga practice at the population level in a European country and very few such studies exist worldwide. The objective of the study is to examine the prevalence, trends and correlates of yoga practice in England between 1997 and 2008.FINDINGS: Analysis was conducted in early 2013 using Health Survey for England data. Independent cohorts, representative of adults living in England, were surveyed in annual cycles in 1997-1999, 2003-2004, and 2006/2008. Prevalence of yoga practice (defined as any practice in the past four weeks) was determined at each time point and multiple logistic regression was used to examine temporal trends (using 1997-1999 as reference time point) and the correlates of yoga practice. The prevalence of yoga practice was 0.46% (95% CI: 0.39%-0.52%) in 1997-1999, 0.94% (0.83%-1.06%) in 2003-2004, and 1.11% (0.95%-1.28%) in 2006/2008. Yoga participants in England were more likely to be older, female, degree educated, of non-manual social class, lower BMI, better self-rated general health, inactive occupation, and higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Adjusted for age, sex, social class, and long standing illnesses, there was a significant increasing trend of yoga practice from 1997 to 2008 (2003/04 OR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.59-2.34; 2006/08 OR=2.19, 95% CI: 1.77-2.71).CONCLUSIONS: Yoga practice has increased in popularity, though the absolute rates are still relatively low. Future population studies should more comprehensively examine the contexts, settings, styles, correlates and health benefits of yoga practice.
