abstract: 'In recent decades, the prevalence of physical activity has declined
considerably in many developed countries, which has been related to
rising levels of obesity and several weight-related medical conditions,
such as coronary heart disease. There is evidence that areas exhibiting
particularly low levels of physical activity have undergone a strong
transition away from employment in physically demanding occupations. It
is proposed that such processes of deindustrialisation may be causally
linked to unexplained geographical disparities in physical activity.
This study investigates how geographical variations in
deindustrialisation are associated with current levels of physical
activity across different activity domains and relevant macro-economic
time periods in England. The analysis includes data on 27,414 adults
from the Health Survey for England 2006 and 2008 who reported total,
occupational, domestic, recreational and walking activity. Based on
employment change in industries associated with heavy manual work, a
local measurement of industrial decline was developed, covering the
period 1841-2001. We applied a multilevel modelling approach to study
associations between industrial decline and physical activity. Results
indicate that the process of deindustrialisation appears to be
associated with patterns of physical activity and that this is
independent of household income. The effects observed were generally
similar for men and women. However, the nature of the association
differed across areas, time periods and employment types; in particular,
residents of districts characterised by a history of manufacturing and
mining employment had increased odds of reporting low activity levels.
We conclude that post-industrial change may be a factor in explaining
present-day variations in physical activity, emphasising the plausible
impact of inherited cultures and regional identities on health related
behaviours. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
