摘要

跑步对心血管健康的好处早已确立,但跑步者/非跑步者与他们使用处方和非处方药物(OTC)之间的关系尚未确立。一项全面的调查通过Facebook公司向自称跑步者的人发出,以评估跑步者对5种常见的自我护理情况的第一反应。研究结果与服用处方药和非处方药的美国人口的全国平均水平进行了比较。研究还评估了平均每周跑步里程与选择非处方药的可能性之间的关系。714名跑步者,主要居住在密苏里州的圣路易斯市,完成了这项调查,他们的结果与全国普通(非跑步者)人群中处方和非处方药的平均使用情况截然不同。在这项研究中,大约30%的跑步者每天服用处方药,而美国全国平均水平为70%。在这5种常见的自我保健情况中,只有不到50%的跑步者选择OTC药物作为自我保健的第一选择,而全国平均水平为80%。研究结果还表明,与每周平均跑15英里或更少的跑步者相比,每周平均跑30英里或更多的跑步者更不可能选择OTC来进行自我保健。总的来说,这项调查的结果表明,跑步者服用药物的可能性更小,总体上可能比普通美国公民更健康。

Medication Use by Runners in Self-Care Situations
The benefits of running for cardiovascular health have long been established, but no relationship between runners/non-runners and their usage of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications has been established. A comprehensive survey was sent out via Facebook, Inc., to self-identified runners to assess runners’ first response to 5 common self-care situations. The results were compared to the national average of the U.S. population who take prescription and OTC medications. What was also assessed was the relationship between average weekly miles run and the likelihood to choose OTC medications. 714 runners, residing predominately in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area, completed the survey and their results were drastically different than the national average use for prescription and OTC medication in the general (non-runners) population. Approximately 30% of the runners in this study are on daily prescription medications versus a national average of 70% of the U.S. population. In each of the 5 common self-care situations, less than 50% of runners chose an OTC medication as their first option for self-care vs. the national average of 80%. Results of the study also showed that runners with a weekly mile average of 30 miles or more were less likely to choose an OTC option for self-care than runners with a weekly average of 15 miles or less. Overall, results of this survey suggest that runners are less likely to take medications and may be healthier than the average U.S. citizen overall.
