Abstract:
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, second edition, recommends older adults participate in ≥150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity equivalent aerobic activity and ≥2 days per week of muscle-strengthening activity. We estimated prevalence and trends of meeting the guidelines among US adults aged ≥65 years from 1998 to 2018. Using the 1998-2018 National Health Interview Survey, we estimated the prevalence of meeting aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and combined physical activity guidelines stratified by age group, sex, race and ethnicity, and education level. Within age groups, we calculated prevalence differences by sociodemographic categories. Prevalence of meeting each guideline increased for all age groups and most sociodemographic subgroups. The increased magnitude of meeting the combined guideline from 1998-2000 to 2016-2018 differed across levels of educational attainment for most age groups. Despite increasing over time, the prevalence among older adults of meeting physical activity guidelines remains low (range for combined guideline: 7.2%-17.2%).
摘要:
美国人的身体活动指南,第二版,建议老年人每周参加≥150分钟的中等强度等效有氧活动,每周参加≥2天的肌肉强化活动。我们估计了1998年至2018年美国≥65岁成年人中符合指南的患病率和趋势。使用1998-2018年全国健康访谈调查,我们估计了有氧会议的患病率,肌肉加强,以及按年龄组分层的综合身体活动指南,性别,种族和民族,和教育水平。在年龄组中,我们计算了不同社会人口统计学类别的患病率差异.在所有年龄组和大多数社会人口统计学亚组中,满足每个指南的患病率都有所增加。从1998-2000年到2016-2018年,满足合并指南的幅度增加,对于大多数年龄组的受教育程度不同。尽管随着时间的推移而增加,老年人满足体力活动指南的患病率仍然较低(合并指南的范围:7.2%-17.2%).
