Social capital, desire to increase physical activity and leisure-time physical activity: A population-based study.
(2011) In Public Health 125(7). p.442-447- Abstract
- OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the associations between social capital (trust) and leisure-time physical activity.
STUDY DESIGN:
The 2004 Public Health Survey in Skåne is a cross-sectional study.
METHODS:
In total, 27,757 individuals aged 18-80 years answered a postal questionnaire (59% participation). Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations between trust, desire to increase physical activity and leisure-time physical activity.
RESULTS:
The prevalence of low leisure-time physical activity was 15.3% among men and 13.2% among women. Middle-aged men and older women, respondents born abroad, those with medium/low education,... (More) - OBJECTIVES:

RESULTS:
The prevalence of low leisure-time physical activity was 15.3% among men and 13.2% among women. Middle-aged men and older women, respondents born abroad, those with medium/low education, those with the desire to increase physical activity but needing support, and those reporting low trust had significantly higher odds ratios of low leisure-time physical activity than their respective reference groups. The associations between low trust and desire to increase physical activity and between low trust and low leisure-time physical activity remained in the multiple models.
CONCLUSIONS:
The positive association between low trust and low leisure-time physical activity remained after multiple adjustments. There is a concentration of men and women with low leisure-time physical activity who report the desire to increase their physical activity but think that they need support to do so. This group also has a significantly higher prevalence of low trust. (Less)
