“…The importance of assessing various intensity levels has been increased by mounting evidence that sedentary behaviors (Andersen, Crespo, Bartlett, Cheskin, & Pratt, Sallisand Saelens 1998; Eaton, Lapane, Garber, et al, 1995), moderate intensities and amounts of physical activity (Pate et al, 1995;USDHHS, 1996), and vigorous intensity activities (USDHHS, 1996) are related to various health outcomes. A content valid measure assesses all these currently recognized in tensities, Assessing other dimensions of physical activity may be essential for specialized studies.…”

“…Increased physical activity both at work and at leisure consistently reduces the risk of CHD among men and women (Blair et al, 1996;Eaton et al, 1995;Estok & Rudy, 1987;Kushi et al, 1997;Pate et al, 1995;Powell, Thompson, Caspersen, & Kendrick, 1987). However, women tend to be less active than men, and African women are less active than Caucasian women (Bild et al, 1993;CDC, 1995).…”

Self-reported cardiovascular risk factors of obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking in African American and Caucasian women in North Carolina were compared, controlling for socioeconomic status (SES). Participants were 1,945 women aged 23 to 53 years; 20.1% African American and 79.9% Caucasian. Of the African American women, 38.8% were obese, 51.7% were inactive, and 31.2% smoked; of the Caucasians, 19.9% were obese, 31.2% were inactive, and 33.8% smoked. SES differed significantly by race (p < .001). Low and middle SES African American women were much more likely than high SES African Americans to be obese, inactive, and smokers. Among Caucasian women, those with low SES had the greatest prevalence for all three risk factors. After controlling for income and education, African American women were more than twice as likely as Caucasian women to be obese and to be inactive, but were only half as likely to smoke.

“…Multiple researches have been conducted to evaluate the affiliation between lack of physical activity and incidence/prevalence of morbidities [7]. In an International Cross-Sectional Study, the odds ratio of CHD in sedentary women was found to be 2.1% (95% CI 1.0-4.3, P=0.046) [8]. In another Cross-Sectional Study, prevalence of sedentary lifestyle in hypertensive patients was 60% [9].…”

To find out association of physical activity with co-morbid conditions in geriatric population, a cross-sectional study was conducted in different cties of Pakistan in 2015. A total of 114 participants were inducted by nonprobability convenience sampling technique. Data was collected after informed verbal consent by a validated questionnaire that is Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA). Participants were categorized into two groups i.e. physically active and physically inactive. Data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 20. There were 66 (57.9%) males and 48 (42.1%) females with mean age of 57.04±7.348 years. Among hypertensive individuals (n=43, 37.7%) there were 39 (90.7%) physically inactive, among individuals having angina (n=17, 14.9%) there were 15 (88.2%) physically inactive. Out of 37 (32.5%) diabetics, 35 (94.6%) were physically inactive. Among individuals suffering from arthritis (n=40, 35.1%), there were 38 (95%) physically inactive. A significant association was found between physical activity and diabetes and arthritis with p-value of 0.048 and 0.029 respectively. Physical activity is significantly associated with diabetes and arthritis in geriatric population. Adequate physical activity should be performed to reduce the risk of comorbid conditions and improve the quality of life in geriatric population.
