目标：确定沙特人口的身体活动水平并评估其社会人口相关性。方法：这些数据是在沙特阿拉伯王国对 4758 名参与者进行的横断面代表性全国调查的一部分。采用多阶段分层整群随机抽样设计。使用全球体力活动问卷 (GPAQ) 2.0 版评估体力活动。使用逻辑回归分析来确定决定因素，并根据各种因素进行调整。结果：总体而言，男性缺乏身体活动的比例为 66.6%（95% C.I.：65.3%-68%）、60.1%（95% C.I.：58.1% -62.1%），男性为 72.9%（95% C.I.：女性为 71.1%-74.7%。闲暇时间缺乏身体活动的比例为 87.9%，其中男性为 85.6%，女性为 90.2%。北部和中部地区报告称，在工作、休闲和交通中缺乏体力活动的比例最高。性别、地理位置和就业状况呈现出统计上显着的相关性。结论：沙特阿拉伯王国各个地区和人群的身体活动不足程度较高。非常需要对人群进行干预，特别是那些注重闲暇时间体育活动的人群。
Objectives: To determine the levels of physical activity in the Saudi population and to assess its socio-demographic correlates.Methods: The data were part of a cross-sectional representative national survey of 4758 participants conducted in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A multistage stratified cluster random sampling design was used. Physical activity was assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) version 2.0. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the determinants and were adjusted in relation to various factors.Results: Overall, physical inactivity was found to be 66.6% (95% C.I.: 65.3%-68%), 60.1% (95% C.I.: 58.1% -62.1%) for males and 72.9% (95% C.I.: 71.1%-74.7%) for females. Leisure time physical inactivity was found to be 87.9%, 85.6% for males and 90.2% for females. The northern and central regions reported the highest prevalence of no physical activity at work, leisure and transportation. Gender, geographical location and employment status exhibited a statistically significant correlation.Conclusions: There is a high level of physical inactivity in various regions and population groups in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Population interventions are greatly needed, especially those focusing on physical activity in their leisure time.
