摘要:Objective. To assess the physical activity of working residents of Warsaw aged 20–69 years, as well as to identify the sociodemographicfactors associated with their levels of physical activity.Materials and method. The study involved 2,544 working residents of Warsaw aged 20–69 years. The short version ofthe IPAQ was applied and four physical activity levels (insufficient, sufficient, augmented, high) were distinguished. Therelationships between physical activity and gender, age, BMI, education, economic and martial status as well as participationin recreation were determined.Results. High levels of physical activity were reached by 8% of respondents, 22% achieved augmented level, 32% weresufficiently and 32% insufficiently active. Out of 2544 studied subjects, 6% declared complete sedentariness. Females were,as compared to males, more frequently (p<0.05) insufficiently active (35.9 vs. 31.9%). In obese and overweight subjectsinsufficient physical activity predominated (42.9 and 36.2%, respectively) and was significantly more frequent than insubjects with normal BMI (31.0%). Moreover, the subjects living in partner relationships were significantly (p<0.05) morefrequently insufficiently active than those staying single (36.3 vs. 30.3%). Respondents who declared regular participation inleisure activities were less frequently insufficiently active (20.0%) and more frequently met the criteria of sufficient (37.6%),augmented (28.0%) or high (14.4%) level of physical activity. No significant effects were found with respect to education ofrespondents.Conclusions. Prophylactic schedules associated with the improvement of physical activity level should be addressedparticularly to females, people taking up recreation occasionally or to those not involved in recreation at all, living in partnerrelationships, youngest (21–30 years), in obese and overweight and in the lowest economic category
