Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the association between acculturation and physical activity (PA). Design: Cross sectional. Setting: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2003 to 2006. Subjects: A total of 4029 adults (aged 20-64), including 2063 men and 1966 women. Measures: The outcome measures included both self-reported PA and device-assessed PA. The acculturation measure was constructed based on nativity, language use at home, and length of residence in the United States. Analysis: Regressions with domain analysis were conducted to adjust for the influence of confounding factors and complex survey design. Results: For men, self-reported PA increased with acculturation, especially leisure-time PA. However, device-assessed PA decreased with acculturation. For women, the results were more mixed. Conclusion: All evidence considered, we concluded that PA decreased with acculturation for US men.
