“…Furthermore, work-related activity was dramatically decreased in women. 28 The present results regarding the prevalence and trend of CVD risk factors were considerably different between the two sexes. The difference in the prevalence and the trend of the CVD risk factors between men and women was also shown in our previous studies in the same population.…”

“…Living in an urban area was positively associated with total SB in all East Asian (Chinese) samples. 53,59,60,97 In contrast, studies from South-East Asia 92 and the Middle East, 82,87 as well as three out of four studies in South Asians, reported no relationships between urban residency and total SB. 53,93,96,97 Urban residence was unrelated to occupational and transport-related SB based on one study from Oman, 83 while it was positively associated with leisure-time SB according to one Chinese study.…”

Correlates of sedentary behaviour in Asian adults: A systematic review

Summary The objective of this study is to systematically review the evidence on correlates of sedentary behaviour (SB) among Asian adults. We searched for studies that examined individual, environmental, and political/cultural correlates of total and domain‐specific SB (transport, occupation, leisure, and screen time) in Asian adults published from 2000 onwards in nine scientific databases. Two reviewers independently screened identified references. Following quality assessment of included studies, we performed narrative synthesis that considered differences based on SB measurements, regions, and population characteristics (PROSPERO: CRD42018095268). We identified 13 249 papers of which we included 49, from four regions and 12 countries. Researchers conducted cross‐sectional analyses and most relied on SB self‐report for SB measurement. Of the 118 correlates studied, the following associations were consistent: higher age, living in an urban area (East Asia), and lower mental health with higher total SB; higher education with higher total and occupational SB; higher income with higher leisure‐time SB; higher transit density with higher total SB in older East Asians; and being an unmarried women with higher SB in the Middle East. We encourage more research in non‐high‐income countries across regions, further exploration of important but neglected correlates using longitudinal designs and qualitative research, and the use of objective instruments to collect SB data.

“…[2] Studies show that the prevalence of immobility among the population 22–65 years during the 4 years has increased from 15% (1385) to 21.5% (1390) and the rate of immobility in work, travel and traffic, and recreation and leisure time have been 56.4%, 39.2% and 78.7%, respectively. [3] Moreover, evidences show that 70–80% of Iranians do not have enough mobility[45] that its statistics in Iranian women is far higher than Iranian men. [6] In a study conducted in Tehran, 69.8% of the study population was inactive; in other words, only 3.30% of the women were doing physical activity.…”

INTRODUCTION:Nowadays with respect to the automation of the lifestyle, immobility statistics in middle-aged women has increased and they are at risk for complications of immobility. One of the models used to identify factors associated with physical activity is Health Belief Model utilized in different age and different cultural backgrounds and different results have been obtained from those studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting on physical activity in middle-aged women using Health Belief Model.MATERIALS AND METHODS:This descriptive-correlation study was conducted on 224 middle-aged women referring to health centers in Isfahan. Health Belief Model structures including perceived susceptibility and severity, perceived barriers and benefits, and self-efficacy were measured by questionnaire and physical activity was assessed using the international physical activity questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient test and regression analysis.RESULTS:There wasn’t significant correlation between perceived susceptibility (P = 0.263, r = 0.075) and perceived severity with physical activity duration (P = 0.127, r = 0.058) but there was positive and weak correlation between physical activity duration with perceived benefits (P = 0.001 and r = 0.26) and perceived self-efficacy (P = 0.001, r = 0.54) and had weak and inverse correlation with perceived barriers (P = 0.001, r = -0.25). Regression analysis also showed that from among all the Health Belief Model structures just self-efficacy structure has influenced on behavior independently and other structures are affected by it.CONCLUSION:The obtained results implied on a correlation between benefits, barriers and perceived self-efficacy with and moderate physical activity. Therefore it is necessary to develop appropriate educational programs with emphasis on structures of Health Belief Model that has the maximum impact on physical activity in middle-aged women.

Gender-specific changes in physical activity pattern in Iran: national surveillance of risk factors of non-communicable diseases (2007–2011)

Abstract: This report indicating that the Iranian population, particularly females, have become less active during the survey period. Physical inactivity should receive more attention as a public health issue.
