| Abstract | Physical activity (PA) is recommended for the prevention and rehabilitation of chronic diseases and adverse health conditions. PA level can be measured in total PA and in four domains: PA done at work, during transport, at home, and during leisure time. This study compared the PA profiles across socioeconomic status (SES) of 60 adults (18-59 y/o) residing in Brgy. Matandang Balara, using a household status questionnaire and the IPAQ-LF. Kruskal-Wallis tests determined differences, if any, across SES in Occupational PA, Transport PA, Household PA, Leisure-time PA, and Total PA. Significant differences were found between the Low-Middle SES groups in OPA, HPA, and Total PA, as well as between the Low-High SES groups in OPA. All other comparisons were found to have non-significant differences. For further study, it is recommended to include a larger sample size or area, collect more information in surveying, or employ other instruments in measuring PA. |
