摘要

Background

General practitioners (GPs) are central in promoting physical activity (PA) among individuals with chronic conditions. Understanding how sociodemographic and clinical characteristics are associated with receiving PA information and its association with PA levels could help identify those who may need support.

Method

This cross-sectional study includes respondents from the Danish Regional Health Survey 2021 with a chronic condition who consulted their GP in the preceding year. Characteristics were self-reported or obtained from the Danish Civil Registration System. PA levels were self-reported. Logistic and multinomial regression analyzed characteristics associated with receiving PA information and its association with PA levels.

Results

Of 8143 individuals with chronic conditions, 64% were non-compliant with the World Health Organization’s minimum recommendations for PA. Twenty-two percent had received PA information from their GPs. Being female (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.33; 1.74), higher educational level (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.20; 1.82), higher health literacy score (Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ2): OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.01; 1.26; HLQ9: OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.22; 1.55) increased odds of receiving PA information. Odds were lower for individuals living alone (OR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.74; 0.99) and for those having > 3 chronic conditions (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.44; 0.71) compared to one. Receiving PA information increased the odds of meeting PA recommendations: 1.54 (95% CI 1.25; 1.90) for 150–299 min moderate-to-vigorous PA.

Conclusion

Receiving PA information reflects inequalities in primary care but was associated with higher PA levels, highlighting the need for integrated approaches to support GPs in promoting PA.
