Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a preventable threat to livelihood and longevity in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and insufficient physical activity (PA) is a primary cause of NCDs. A PRISMA-based systematic review of measurement methodologies used to assess PA was conducted. 564 studies published between 1978 and 2020 were reviewed. The majority of the PA measurement employed subjective methodologies and were observational and cross-sectional, with disproportionately fewer studies conducted in economically-challenged member nations, except for Brunei. PA research in Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar constituted 0.4–1.1% while Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia contributed 12–37% of all PA research within ASEAN. A decision matrix can be used to determine the measurement methodology of choice to assess PA. Joint research across ASEAN using a common assessment or measurement template that is co-curated by ASEAN researchers that incorporates multi-level and whole-of-society criteria in terms of PA enablers is a recommendation. This could be co-led by more experienced and better-resourced countries so as to produce a unified and universal ‘report card’ for PA measurement within ASEAN.

身体活动测量方法：东南亚国家联盟（ASEAN）的系统评价

非传染性疾病（NCDs）是对东南亚国家联盟（ASEAN）的生计和寿命的可预防威胁，而身体活动不足（PA）是非传染性疾病的主要原因。对用于评估PA的测量方法进行了基于PRISMA的系统评价。回顾了1978年至2020年之间发表的564篇研究。大部分的功率放大器测量采用主观方法，并且是观察性的和横断面的，在经济上受挑战的成员国中，除文莱外，进行的研究较少。文莱，柬埔寨，老挝和缅甸的PA研究占东盟地区所有PA研究的12–37％，而马来西亚，新加坡，泰国和印度尼西亚则占该研究的12–37％。决策矩阵可用于确定评估PA的选择测量方法。建议使用由东盟研究人员共同策划的通用评估或衡量模板在东盟范围内进行联合研究，该模板结合了PA促成因素的多层次和全社会标准。可以由经验更丰富，资源更丰富的国家共同领导，以便为东盟内部的功率放大器测量生成统一的通用“报告卡”。
