Resumen
Objetivo

Estimar la asociación entre el bienestar material de la provincia de residencia y la inactividad física durante el tiempo libre en la población española mayor de 15 años.

Métodos

Los datos proceden de la encuesta de Discapacidades, Deficiencias y Estado de Salud, realizada por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística en 1999. Se analizaron los datos de 24.561 mujeres y 21.133 varones. Se consideró un sujeto inactivo cuando declaraba no realizar ningún tipo de actividad física durante el tiempo libre. La medida de bienestar material fue la renta per cápita de la provincia agrupada en cuartiles. La medida de asociación entre la renta per cápita y la inactividad física fue la odds ratio (OR) estimada mediante modelos logit multinivel.

Resultados

En los individuos ≥ 45 años de edad se encontró una asociación entre la renta per cápita y la inactividad física. Las provincias con mayor renta per cápita presentaron la menor prevalencia de inactividad física. No obstante, la OR de mayor magnitud se encontró en el cuartil 2 de renta per cápita, no observándose diferencias stadísticamente significativas entre el cuartil más rico y el cuartil más pobre. Al ajustar por características socioeconómicas y otras variables individuales, esa asociación persistió en las mujeres y desapareció en los varones. En las mujeres la asociación fue mayor en el grupo de ingresos personales más bajos.

Conclusiones

Los resultados sugieren que en las mujeres mayores de 45 años la inactividad física podría estar relacionada no sólo con las características individuales, sino también con el contexto socioeconómico del área de residencia.

Abstract
Objective

To estimate the association between material wellbeing of the province of residence and leisure-time physical inactivity in the Spanish population aged 16 years and older.

Methods

We used data from the Survey on Disabilities, Impairments and Health Status carried out by the Statistical National Institute in 1999. We analyse 24,561 women and 21,133 men. Respondents were classified as inactive if they reported no leisure-time physical activity. The measure of material wellbeing was the per capita income of the province of residence grouped in quartiles. The measure of the association between per capita income and physical inactivity was the odds ratio (OR) estimated from logit multilevel models.

Results

Association between per capita income and physical inactivity was observed in people aged 45 years and older. The lower prevalence of physical inactivity was observed in provinces with the higher per capita income. However the higher OR was found in quartile 2 of per capita income, because no significant difference was observed between quartile 4 (richest) and quartile 1 (poorest). After adjusting for socioeconomic characteristics and other individual variables, association remained significant in women and disappeared in men. In women, association between per capita income and physical inactivity was higher in the population group with lower personal income.

Conclusions

Results suggest that physical inactivity in women aged 45 years and older could be related not only with individual characteristics but with the socioeconomic context of the area of residence.
