Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xFJ8Fl. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Studies of leisure-time physical activity disparities for Hispanic individuals have not adjusted for sociodemographic confounds or accounted for variation by country of origin. We used the National Health Interview Survey to compare leisure-time physical activity among Hispanic and non-Hispanic White persons. All Hispanic subgroups were less active than were non-Hispanic White people, yet significant heterogeneity existed among Hispanic persons. Sociodemographic factors partly accounted for disparities among men ; disparities among women persisted despite multivariate adjustments. Interventions must attend to these under-served yet varied subcommunities. |
