An estimate of physical activity prevalence in a large population-based cohort

Article Abstract:

A study to understand the prevalent self-reported moderate and vigorous physical activity (PA) among native Californians in relation to age, gender, education, race/ethnicity and disease risk factor is undertaken. The results show for moderate and vigorous PA 22.3% and 37.4% of the total group report meet the guidelines properly and only 11.2% and 27.4% report no moderate or vigorous PA as age and education gradients exist for both PA.

Article Abstract:

The validity and reliability of Kaiser Physical Activity Survey (KPAS) for use by pregnant women to analyze the effectiveness of physical activity in the reduction of maternal and fetal disorders is studied. The findings indicate that KPAS is a reliable and reasonably accurate instrument for estimation and can also be used for investigations of the impact of total physical activity on maternal and fetal outcomes.
