ABSTRACT Older Minnesota State Fair attendees age ≥55 years were recruited to determine if physical activity (PA) guideline knowledge was associated with self-reported PA behavior and physical function. Survey data and repeated chair stands scores were collected and analyzed using logistic regression models. Participants (n = 434) were college educated (75%), women (58%) with a mean age of 65 ± 7 years. Knowledge of PA guidelines was not related to higher PA levels or better physical function. Having adequate self-reported aerobic activity levels was associated with physical function (p = .02). Better physical function (p = .01), lower body mass index (p = .03) and good general health (p < .0001) were associated with meeting PA guidelines. Health promotion efforts should focus on providing opportunities and resources for older adults to actually engage in PA.

老年人体力活动指南的知识及其与体力活动和身体机能的关系

摘要 招募年龄≥55 岁的年长明尼苏达州博览会参加者以确定身体活动 (PA) 指南知识是否与自我报告的 PA 行为和身体功能相关。使用逻辑回归模型收集和分析调查数据和重复的椅架分数。参与者 (n = 434) 受过大学教育 (75%)，平均年龄为 65 ± 7 岁的女性 (58%)。对 PA 指南的了解与更高的 PA 水平或更好的身体机能无关。有足够的自我报告有氧活动水平与身体机能相关（p = .02）。更好的身体机能 (p = .01)、较低的体重指数 (p = .03) 和良好的总体健康状况 (p < .0001) 与满足 PA 指南相关。
