Black individuals, especially women, in the South engage in less leisure time physical activity than white individuals. This finding persists after accounting for age, income, and body mass index.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Analysis of 1984-1985 South Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey data.
  • Utilized telephone interviews with 2,005 randomly selected individuals (431 black, 1574 white).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate disparities in leisure time physical activity levels.
  • To examine the influence of race, gender, age, income, and body mass index on physical activity.

Main Methods:

  • Calculated weekly leisure time energy expenditure (kcal/week) from reported activity type, frequency, and duration.
  • Employed logistic regression to analyze the impact of various demographic and health factors on physical activity levels.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Leisure time energy expenditure decreased with age and higher body mass index, and increased with education and income across all groups.
  • Race was a significant predictor of physical activity, particularly for women, even after adjusting for confounders.

Conclusions:

  • Black individuals, particularly women, in the South exhibit lower leisure time physical activity compared to white individuals.
  • These disparities remain significant after controlling for key confounding variables like age, income, and body mass index.
