dc.description.abstract |
<h4>Background</h4>The purpose of this study was to examine socio-demographic differences in physical activity (aerobic and muscle-strengthening) among young adults (18-24 years).<h4>Methods</h4>Data collected between 2017-2019 as a part of Sport New Zealand's Active NZ survey were examined using logistic regression analyses to determine the odds of participants meeting aerobic, muscle-strengthening and combined physical activity recommendations. Gender, ethnicity, employment/student status, disability status, and socio-economic deprivation were included as explanatory variables in analyses.<h4>Results</h4>The proportion of young adults meeting recommendations varied according to physical activity type (aerobic:63.2%; strength:40.1%; combined:37.2%). Young adults not employed/studying had lower odds of meeting recommendations than those full-time employed (OR = 0.43 [0.34-0.54]). Physical activity levels differ according to gender and this intersects with ethnicity, employment/student status, and social deprivation. For example, the odds of Pasifika young adults meeting combined physical activity recommendations compared to Europeans were not different (OR = 0.95 [0.76-1.19]), but when stratified by gender the odds were significantly higher for men (OR = 1.55 [1.11-2.16]) and significantly lower for women (OR = 0.64 [0.47-0.89]. Similarly, young adults in high deprivation areas had lower odds of meeting combined physical activity recommendations than those in low deprivation areas (OR = 0.81 [0.68-0.95]), but this was mainly due to the difference among women (OR = 0.68 [0.54-0.85]) as there was no difference among men (OR = 0.97 [0.76-1.25]).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Intersections between socio-demographic characteristics should be considered when promoting physical activity among young adults in Aotearoa New Zealand, particularly young adults not employed/studying, and young women who live in deprived areas or identify as Asian or Pasifika. Tailored approaches according to activity type for each of these groups are required. |
