目的：体育活动是2型糖尿病治疗不可或缺的一部分。不幸的是，大多数患有2型糖尿病的成年人并不经常参加体育活动：本研究的目的是评估患有2型糖尿病的老年人的体育活动行为及其相关因素（即，体育活动知识、障碍、表现和结果预期）。研究设计和方法：从年龄大于或等于55岁的成人分层随机样本中确定260例2型糖尿病成人亚组。参与者完成了一项由访谈者管理的调查，该调查是根据焦点小组调查结果和社会学习理论设计的。结果-大多数受访者（54.6%）报告每周0分钟的身体活动。年龄较大的女性受访者尤其如此。在年龄最大的年龄组，即白人女性的受访者中，表现期望得分较低。身体活动知识因年龄组而异，身体活动障碍在所有年龄组中都很普遍。以下是报告的每周体育活动的重要相关因素：年龄更小，受教育程度更高，动机障碍更少，对健康和表现的期望更高。结论：鉴于体力活动对糖尿病管理的重要性，本研究和其他研究中发现的体力活动的低患病率应引起临床医生的关注。未来的研究需要确定身体活动的预测因素，以指导临床医生促进身体活动。
OBJECTIVE - Physical activity is integral to the management of type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, the majority of adults with type 2 diabetes do not regularly engage in physical activity: The purpose of this study was to assess physical activity behavior and its correlates (i.e., physical activity knowledge, barriers, and performance and outcome expectations) in older adults with type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A subgroup of 260 adults with type 2 diabetes was identified from a larger stratified random sample of adults aged greater than or equal to 55 years. Participants completed an interviewer-administered survey designed from focus group findings and social learning theory.RESULTS - The majority of the respondents (54.6%) reported 0 min of weekly physical activity. This was especially true of older female respondents. Performance expectation scores were lower among respondents who were in the oldest age-group, namely white women. Physical activity knowledge varied by age-group, and barriers to physical activity were prevalent in all groups. The following are significant correlates of reported weekly physical activity: younger age, more education, fewer motivational barriers, and greater perceived health and performance expectations.CONCLUSIONS - Given the importance of physical activity to diabetes management, the low prevalence of physical activity found in this and other studies should raise concerns among clinicians. Future research to identify predictors of physical activity is needed to guide clinicians in the promotion of physical activity.
