Disparities in recreational physical activity based on income. Compared to households with an annual adjusted relative income of over 5.5 million yen, there is a disparity of 0.58 for households with an equivalent income under 1.375 million yen per annum (1.72 times lower).b. Disparities in occupational physical activity based on educational level: There was a large difference (1.90) for those with a ‘high school or less’ educational background compared to those with a ‘university or more’ educational background.This was the first study in the world to investigate socio-economic inequalities in relation to physical activity in different domains of daily life during the COVID-19 pandemic.Income and educational level-based disparities were found for physical activity (related to work, recreation and transport) and sedentary behaviors. In these results, there was a large disparity for recreational physical activity with lower levels of this activity among people with a low income/low level of education (Figure 1-a, 2-a).Contrary to physical activity levels in other domains of daily life, those with low level education spent longer doing work-related physical activity (Figure 1-b, Figure 2-b). This can be interpreted negatively from a public health perspective as previous research has indicated that high levels of occupational physical activity can actually increase the risk of diseases such as heart disease.Continued investigation is required to assess the mid-to-long term impacts on people’s health.Figure 2: Graphs showing an excerpt of the results for absolute inequality (Slope Index of Inequality)The Y axis shows the percentage that did not engage in the aforementioned physical activity.a. Disparities in recreational physical activity based on income: There was a 20.7% difference in physical activity levels between those with an equivalent household income over 5.5 million yen and those under 1.375 million yen.b. Disparities in occupational physical activity based on educational level: There was a 10.9% difference when those with a ‘high school or less’ educational background were compared to those with ‘university or more’ educational background.Research BackgroundIt is known that sufficient levels of physical activity can prevent multiple chronic diseases (including mental illness) and reduce the risk of death. Ideally, people should be able to equally enjoy these benefits of physical activity. However, it has long been pointed out that disparities stemming from people’s socio-economic status (e.g. their income and educational background) exist when it comes to healthy behaviour such as physical activity. These are referred to as health disparities. Namely, a disproportionate number of people with a low income and/or low education are in poor health. Due to the novel COVID-19 pandemic, specific industries have been hit hard economically, such as the tourism industry and restaurant industry. There are concerns in the public health field that these circumstances are exacerbating health disparities.It has been reported that actual levels of physical activity and exercise awareness have improved in Japan compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, based on extensive data collected from government-conducted internet surveys and smartphone pedometer applications. However, this information may not reflect the reality for people in vulnerable socio-economic circumstances due to the nature of the survey methods used. In other words, it may not be possible to glean an understanding of the circumstances facing people who are in need of support.Research MethodologyThis study used detailed population breakdown and region-wide data collected through the National Sport and Lifestyle Survey, which is a nationwide cross-sectional survey conducted by the Sasakawa Sports Foundation. The researchers utilized this data to investigate physical activity disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic.One of the distinctive features of this study is that it uses the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and the Relative Index of Inequality (RII); these take into account the differences in population ratio for each indicator of socio-economic status (in this case, income and educational level).ConclusionThe results of this study highlight the need for continuous monitoring of changes in health disparity year on year. It is hoped that this research will serve as a reference for the direction of future policy.GlossarySedentary behaviourThis is any waking behaviour that is characterized by an energy expenditure of less than 1.5 METs while in a sitting, reclining or lying position.Equivalent Household IncomeThe income of a household that has been adjusted to reflect the living standards of household members. It can be calculated by dividing the household income by the square root of household size.Journal InformationTitle“Socioeconomic inequalities in physical activity among Japanese adults during the COVID-19 pandemic”DOI10.1016/j.puhe.2022.03.006AuthorsAkira Kyan, Minoru TakakuraJournalPublic HealthResearchersKyan AkiraGraduate School of Human Development and EnvironmentGraduate School of Human Development and EnvironmentSHAREMore from these researchersPress releases2023.06.21Social sciencesCOVID-19's Impact on Socioeconomic Inequality in Health Behaviors Among Japanese AdolescentsPress releases2022.12.06Social sciencesSchool children who meet movement guidelines report better healthMore about these topicsFeatures2023.07.10Medicine, dentistry and pharmacologyWhat issues will remain after Covid-19 is downgraded to Class 5?Press releases2018.11.12Medicine, dentistry and pharmacologyLack of exercise impacts mental health in Japanese expatsInterviews2023.03.27Social sciencesFocusing on issues facing people without transportation access from minority perspectivesPress releases2024.02.16Medicine, dentistry and pharmacologySelf-monitoring improves physical activity of care-needing elderlyページの先頭へ1-1, Rokkodai-cho, Nada-ku, Kobe, 657-8501, JAPANProspective studentsCurrent studentsAlumsCorporate and societyFaculty and staffContactAccessJobsOfficial social media accountsCampus calendarPrivacy policySite policySite map© Kobe University
