Examining Factors Contributing Of The Prevalence Of Physical Activity Among Adult Patients Attending Primary Health Care Centers In Makah Almokarramah, Saudi Arabia 2023

Abstract

Background:

A large variety of studies have found that higher physical activity (PA) levels decrease the risk of many chronic diseases and increases longevity.  On the other hand, physical activity has decreased over the last decade among the general population, while the time spent in sedentary behaviors has increased. In modern society, lower levels of physical activity and higher time spent in sedentary behaviors are public health concerns. Epidemiological data identify that 31.1% of adults do not meet the minimum criteria for physical activity,  but most studies come from developed countries. Longitudinal data about physical activity in developing nations are extremely sparse and, when availab[1]le, inconsistent. Similarly, information about lower mortality due to physical activity is rare in developing countries. Aim of this study: To examining Factors Contributing  of the Prevalence  of  Physical Activity among Adult Patients  attend primary health care centers in Makah city, Saudi Arabia 2023. Methodology: Cross sectional design has be adopted .The study has be conducted in Makah city, Saudi Arabia. The present study was conducted at primary health care  in Makah city. Systematic random sampling was be adopted to select persons during the March to June, 2023.The sample (300). Results: Exercise milieu these study results showed that Positive Exercise milieu proportions (62.0% ),  and Negative Exercise milieu proportions (38.0% ) while  the Range  (8-22)  Mean +SD (13.254±3.215) while Time expenditure the most of them negative were(69.0%)but positive (31.0%)while the Range (6-13) Mean +SD (10.812±2.77) Conclusion: The findings in this study showed the importance of being active in different domains to reduce mortality risk, Physical inactivity among Arab adults and children/adolescents is high. Studies using harmonized approaches, rigorous analytic techniques and a deeper examination of context are needed to design appropriate interventions. Physical activity likely has a greater role in promoting health in disease populations than previously thought and may confer substantial reductions in disease burden Primary health care  in Makah should be active and able to provide health advice and behaviour to their patients. There will a strong intention to increase physical activity among physically inactive primary care physicians (PHCPs).
