Abstract

Aims: To investigate status of physical activity among patients with hypercholesterolemia at some medical facilities in Thai Binh province.


Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 273 out patients with blood cholesterol ≥ 5.2 mmol/L at medical district facilities of Thai Binh province. Physical activity was measured by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire


Results: Mean age was 60.0±9.81 years. Men accounted for 48.7%. The rate of hypercholesterolemic patients achieving the recommended level of physical activity (≥ 600 MET-minutes/week) was 65.2%, this rate had a tend to be higher in women than in men (70% vs. 60.2%, p=0.09).


The median (interquartile) of the most used moderate-intensity physical activity was 210 (0–375) minutes/week. The time for travel and moderate physical activities were significantly higher in women than in men (respectively, 210 (0–420) vs. 85 (0–210) minutes/week; 210 (0–420) vs. 180 (0–210) minutes/week), p < 0.05.


Conclusions: There was still a high rate of the out patients with hypercholesterolemia who did not achieve the recommended level of physical activity.
