Physical activity behaviours and mortality risk among South Asian communities living in England

我们的目标是首先建立生活在英国的南亚社区的体育活动模式。由于低水平的体力活动可能会部分导致心脏病的风险较高，我们也将检查体力活动和死亡率之间的关联，在这个population.This研究将使用1994-2004年英格兰健康调查（HSfE）和后续数据的所有原因和心血管相关的死亡。先前对体力活动和心脏病的研究主要在白色人群中进行。从我们的研究结果中，我们希望能够了解南亚人心脏病一级预防的最低和最佳体力活动量。由于生活在英国的南亚人似乎有更大的心脏病风险，这项工作将对公共卫生政策产生影响。

We aim to firstly establish physical activity patterns in South Asian communities living in England. Since low levels of physical activity may partly contribute to higher risks of heart disease we will also examine associations between physical activity and mortality in this population.This research will be performed using the 1994-2004 Health Survey for England (HSfE) and follow up data on all cause and cardiovascular related death. Prior research into physical activity and heart disease has been mainly conducted in white populations. From our results we hope to be able to understand the minimal and optimal amounts of physical activity that can be prescribed for the primary prevention of heart disease in South Asians. Since South Asians living in England appear to be at greater risk of heart disease this work will have implications for public health policy.
