Resumen:
Objective: To investigate physical activity (PA) correlates among
community-dwelling adults with frequent (i.e., at least twice per week),
heavy episodic drinking habits (4 drinks for women and 5 for men) in 46
low- and middle-income countries.
Method: Cross-sectional data from the World Health Survey were analyzed.
PA was assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and
participants were dichotomized into those who meet (>150 min
moderate-vigorous PA) or do not meet (<150 min) recommended PA weekly
targets. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the
correlates.
Results: The analysis included 4186 frequent heavy episodic drinkers
(39.4 +/- 13.9years; 78.7% males). The prevalence of low PA was 24.4%
(95%CI = 23.2%-25.8%). Older age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.02 per
one-year increase], not married/cohabiting (vs. married/cohabiting OR =
1.31), higher (tertiary) education (vs. no formal OR = 1.67), being in
the richest quintile (vs. poorest OR = 1.58), unemployed (vs. employed
OR = 1.86), urban setting (vs. rural OR = 1.69) and mobility
difficulties (OR = 1.07, per unit increase in a scale ranging from 0 to
10) were all significant correlates of low PA.
Conclusions: PA is associated with a range of factors among people with
frequent heavy episodic drinking habits. The identified correlates
provide clues as to how PA may be increased in this vulnerable
population. Future research should explore the role of specific
environmental attributes relevant to PA on mental health populations
(and people with alcohol use problems) in low- and middle-income
countries. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
