背景：旨在估计了解并了解 2008 年美国人身体活动指南的美国成年人的比例。方法：分析基于 2009 年 (n = 4281) HealthStyles 调查中的全国成年人横断面样本。我们估计了自称了解政府体育活动指南并了解 2008 年指南中当前推荐的中等强度体育活动指南（即每周 150 分钟）的成年人的患病率。结果：2009 年，表示了解政府体育活动 (PA) 指南的成年人比例为 36.1%。了解中等强度体力活动指南的成年人比例不到 1% (0.56%)。结论：大多数美国成年人对 2008 年指南缺乏足够的认识和了解，使他们面临无法满足这些指南的风险。国家需要更有效的沟通策略来翻译和传播公共事务指南。
Background: To estimate the proportion of U.S. adults aware and knowledgeable of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Methods: Analysis is based on a cross-sectional national sample of adults in the 2009 (n = 4281) HealthStyles survey. We estimated the prevalence of adults who reported awareness of government physical activity guidelines and who were knowledgeable of the currently recommended moderate-intensity physical activity guideline (ie, 150 minutes per week) from the 2008 Guidelines. Results: In 2009, the percent of adults who reported being aware of government physical activity (PA) guidelines was 36.1%. The percent of adults knowledgeable of the moderate-intensity physical activity guideline was less than 1% (0.56%). Conclusions: Most U.S. adults lack sufficient awareness and knowledge of the 2008 Guidelines, putting them at risk for failure to meet them. The nation needs more effective communication strategies to translate and disseminate PA guidelines.
