ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of physical activity and its influencing factors in rural residents in Shanxi and Chongqing.Methods In four counties (districts) of Shanxi and Chongqing,local residents aged ≥ 18 who lived there for more than one year and had no plan to migrate to other areas in 2 years were surveyed through face to face questionnaire interviews to collect the information about their daily physical activity time,sedentary time,related knowledge and attitude,and others.Results The physical inactivity rate of the residents was 14.9%,and 88.7% of residents never took daily physical activity.The average sedentary time was (3.91 ± 2.06) hours.The results of multivariate analysis showed that education level,per capita monthly income and activity degree were the factors influencing physical inactivity.Conclusion The proportion of people who never took daily physical activity in the survey area was higher than the average level in rural areas in China,so measures should be taken to improve the overall rate of physical activity.For people who have exercise willingness,but have no practice,and those who have already increased their physical activities,targeted guidance is needed on the basis of strengthened health education.
