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.'
