Gender Differences in Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior and BMI in the Liberec Region: the IPAQ Study in 2002-2009

Original language description

The occurrence of overweight, obesity and physical activity (PA) belongs to major factors influencing health. The aim of the study was to describe the changes in PA, sedentary behavior and BMI in the inhabitants of the Liberec region during the survey between 2002-2009. The data were obtained in 2002-2004 using the short version of the IPAQ questionnaire, in 2005-2009 using the long version of the IPAQ. The sample of participants comprised 957 males and 1066 females aged 25-60 years. A significant decrease in sitting accounting for minutes on working days has been recorded both in men and women. Regarding PA intensity, men show more PA in total than women. Women show significantly lower values of BMI in all years in which surveys were conducted than men (p<0.001). We have recorded an increase in the number of overweight and obese people. Despite the fact that there has been an increase in self-reported PA, no decrease in BMI was registered.
