An Analysis Of The Physical Activity Status And Influencing Factors Of Minority Adults In Shihezi Area

Objective:Physical activity has gradually become a hot spot in public.Twenty percent of the world s population lacks physical activity,and half of the population lacks physical activity.Physical activity exists in people's work,family,transportation,leisure time and some other aspects.With the development of social economy and technology,and the change of lifestyle,the time of participating in physical activities in all aspects of life has been reduced,and the influence scope of age,region and occupation has been expanding.Therefore,chronic diseases such as obesity,hypertension,diabetes,heart disease and physical health decline caused by lack of physical activity arise spontaneously.Due to the differences in regions,culture,lifestyles and customs,ethnic minorities pay little attention to the physical activities of such groups.In order to make a supplement for the domestic understanding of the physical activity of minority people,this thesis investigates the current situation of physical activity of minority adults in Shihezi area through a questionnaire survey.It analyzes the influencing factors of physical activity of minority adults in Shihezi area and studies the e relationship between chronic diseases and the level of physical activity of minority adults in Shihezi area,thus provides a theoretical reference for the participation of minority adults in physical activities in Shihezi area.Method:In this study,2000 ethnic minority adults in Shihezi area were taken as respondents.On the one hand,through the physical activity log,this research try to know the way and time of respondents participating in physical activity within a week and then grades these physical activities according to the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory.On the other hand,through questionnaires,the influencing factors of participants'physical activity and their chronic diseases were collected.Statistical data obtained from physical activity log and questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS20.0 software,including hierarchical description of physical activity level distribution.The comparison of basic situation,chronic diseases and physical activity level were taken by X2 test.Mean comparison was conducted by variance analysis or non-parametric rank sum test(Kruskal-wallis method).Multivariate analysis was performed by Logistic regression method to observe the influencing factors of physical inactivity and chronic diseases.Result:1.The detection rate of physical activity of minority adults in Shihezi was 33.1%in upper level,10.3%in medium level and 56.6%in lower level respectively.2.Distribution of influencing factors of physical activity in different hierarchy:a little knowledge of physical activity(64.27%,p<0.05),dislike of sports(41.09%,p>0.05),lack of field and equipment(40.21%,p<0.01),a general attitude towards physical activity(58.36%,p<0.05),general atmosphere of physical activity(62.95%,p>0.05),purpose of physical exercise(46.4%,p>0.05).3.Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the influencing factors of low physical activity showed that the age ranged from 18 to 39 years old(OR=2.49,p<0.05),residence in city(OR=2.76,p<0.01),county(OR=3.31,p<0.01),township(OR=2.43,p<0.05),being as farmers(OR=2.17,p<0.01)and institution staff members(OR=1.51,p<0.05),and no field equipment(OR=2.15,p<0.05).p<0.05),having a general attitude towards physical activity(OR =1.89,p<0.01),doing physical activity for recreation(OR = 0.61,p<0.05)and physical exercise(OR = 0.66,p<0.05)are the influencing factors of low level in physical activity.4.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking(OR=1.76,p<0.05),drinking(OR=1.35,p<0.05),staying up late(OR=2.85,p<0.05),low-level physical activity(OR=1.31,p<0.05),age(OR=0.825,p<0.01),being as farmers(OR=0.53,p<0.05)and institution staff members(OR=0.51,p<0.01)are influencing factors of chronic diseases.Conclusion:1.The physical activity of minority adults in Shihezi area is mainly distributed in low level physical activity.2.There are significant differences in the distribution of physical activity level among different peoples,residences,occupations and educational levels.Among the influencing factors of physical activity,there are also significant differences in the degree of knowledge about physical activity,objective factors of physical activity,and the distribution of physical activity level under the attitude of physical activity participation.3.Elements like ages between 18 and 39 years old,living in cities,counties and towns,engaging in farmers and institutions,lack of field and equipment and holding a general attitude towards physical activities are the risk factors leading to inadequate physical activities.Getting entertainment and physical exercise through physical activities are the protective factors leading to inadequate physical activities.4.Smoking,drinking,staying up late and a lower level of physical activity are risk factors for chronic diseases while protective factors for chronic diseases are younger ages and people who are farmers and institution staff members.
