Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate physical activity levels of the population of Switzerland and the association of lifestyle and sociodemographic factors with physical activity levels.

Methods: The association of physical activity with lifestyle and sociodemographic factors was analyzed by fitting ordinal logistic regression models, using the data of 2057 participants from the National Nutrition Survey menuCH.

Results: The physical activity level of the population of Switzerland was high: less than 10% of the participants are not physically active. Factors associated with lower physical activity levels, were the sociodemographic variables, middle age [age 30-44: odds ratio = 0.53 (95% confidence interval 0.37, 0.77) and age 45-59: 0.60 (0.41, 0.89)] and higher education [tertiary level: 0.50 (0.29, 0.86)] as well as the lifestyle factors higher body mass index [obesity: 0.64 (0.45, 0.90)] and poor self-reported health status [0.68 (0.50, 0.93)].

Conclusion: To improve the physical activity level of the population of Switzerland tailored public health strategies are required that address specific groups, such as individuals in the middle age group or obese individuals.

瑞士人口身体活动水平调查：与生活方式和社会人口因素的关系。

目的：本研究的目的是调查瑞士人口的身体活动水平以及生活方式和社会人口因素与身体活动水平的关系。方法：利用全国营养调查菜单中2057名参与者的数据，通过拟合有序logistic回归模型分析体力活动与生活方式和社会人口因素的关系。结果：瑞士人口的身体活动水平较高，不到10%的参与者没有身体活动。与低体力活动水平相关的因素是社会人口学变量，中年[30-44岁：比值比= 0.53(95%可信区间0.37,0.77)，45-59岁：0.60(0.41,0.89)]和高等教育[大专学历：0.50(0.29,0.86)]，以及生活方式因素，较高的体重指数[肥胖：0.64(0.45,0.90)]和不良的自我报告健康状况[0.68(0.50,0.93)]。结论：为了提高瑞士人口的身体活动水平，需要针对特定群体（如中年人或肥胖者）制定量身定制的公共卫生战略。
