並列タイトル等Gender differences in nutritional status, daily time allocation, and physical activity in rural adults in Lao PDR
一般注記application/pdf
Anthropometry, blood pressure measurements, and a daily time allocation survey in conjunction with acceleration monitoring for seven consecutive days were investigated in 13 married couples living in a rural village in Lao PRD. For both genders, the overall nutritional status of the participants was good and the average blood pressure was within the normal range. The time allocation survey revealed that women worked more than three hours longer than men did. However, women’s main subsistence activity was weaving, which is a sedentary activity, whereas men did physically demanding work predominantly, such as livestock husbandry, fishing, and house construction. Consequently, men’s daily physical activity level was significantly higher than women’s. The daily physical activity levels of the participants were categorized as light to moderate based on the WHO criteria. Previous studies have suggested that the total daily energy expenditure (TEE) is underestimated using acceleration monitoring. The participants’ average daily step frequencies exceeded 10,000 for both genders, which suggests that the participants’ daily physical activity levels were not low and that their TEE determined using the accelerometers was underestimated. To investigate the seasonal variation in working activity and lifestyle, further studies of time allocation and physical activity are needed during an intensive agricultural season, such as the planting or harvesting period.
