Abstract

Background: Physicians’ exercise habits vary across different medical specialties and health service infrastructure. We assessed physicians’ exercise performance according to the recommendations of the 2020 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 742 physicians of the Athens Medical Association (AMA), Greece. Utilizing a self-administered questionnaire, physicians’ exercise habits, demographics, specialty, and infrastructure [Hellenic National Health care System (HNHS) or Private System (PS)] were assessed. Subjects were categorized: Moderate-intensity weekly exercise ≥150 min. (Group A); Moderate-intensity weekly exercise <150 min. (Group B). Results: 53.4% of AMA members met the recommended exercise criteria, averaging 240 ± 285 min./week. Significant differences were noted between Group A and B in male sex (58.3% vs 43.1%, P < 0.001), Body Mass Index (24.7 ± 3.8 kg/m2 vs 26.2 ± 4.7 kg/m2, P < 0.001), Smoking (17.4% vs 23.5%, P = 0.04), Diabetes Mellitus (6.6% vs 11.8%, P = 0.01), and activity monitoring wearables usage (45.2% vs 29.8%, P < 0.001). Significantly more doctors in the PS categorized in Group A ( P = 0.008). After adjustment for confounders, HNHS reported 33% decreased odds of achieving the exercise recommendations compared to PS (Odds Ratio: 0.676; 95% CI: 0.484-0.943, P = 0.03). Conclusion: Several factors affect adherence of AMA members to exercise goals. HNHS AMA doctors are less adherent to exercise recommendations, emphasizing the need to strengthen prevention strategies.

医生的体育锻炼习惯:来自雅典医学协会的数据
背景:在不同的医学专业和医疗服务基础设施中,医生的运动习惯各不相同。我们根据《2020 年欧洲心脏病学会指南》的建议对医生的运动表现进行了评估。研究方法这项横断面研究由希腊雅典医学协会 (AMA) 的 742 名医生组成。通过自填式问卷,对医生的运动习惯、人口统计学、专业和基础设施[希腊国家医疗保健系统(HNHS)或私人系统(PS)]进行了评估。受试者被分为每周中等强度运动≥150 分钟(A 组);每周中等强度运动 <150 分钟(B 组)。结果显示53.4%的AMA成员符合推荐的运动标准,平均每周运动时间为240±285分钟。A 组和 B 组在男性(58.3% vs 43.1%,P < 0.001)、体重指数(24.7 ± 3.8 kg/m2 vs 26.2 ± 4.7 kg/m2,P < 0.001)、吸烟(17.4% vs 23.5%,P = 0.04)、糖尿病(6.6% vs 11.8%,P = 0.01)和活动监测可穿戴设备使用率(45.2% vs 29.8%,P < 0.001)方面存在显著差异。在 PS 分类中,A 组的医生人数明显较多(P = 0.008)。在对混杂因素进行调整后,与 PS 相比,HNHS 实现运动建议的几率降低了 33%(Odds Ratio:0.676;95% CI:0.484-0.943,P = 0.03)。结论:有几个因素会影响亚美游会员对运动目标的坚持。HNHS 的全美医生对运动建议的坚持程度较低,这强调了加强预防策略的必要性。
