Popis: Objective To examine the proportion of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) meeting recommended physical activity guidelines for Americans (PAG) and determine differences in physical activity (PA) by sex and between NHPI and Asians when data are disaggregated. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting Articles identified in CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, Embase, PsychINFO, PubMed, Scopus, SocINDEX, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Participants NHPI children and adults, and Asian adults. Interventions Proportion of NHPI meeting PAG and differences in PA involvement by sex and by ethnicity. Methods Summary reporting for articles, and meta-analysis using random-effects and inverse-various weighted models. Conclusions and Implications Just over one-third of NHPI children met the PAG (mean = 38.6%, 95% CI [32.43-45.08]), with more males (42.8%) than females (34.7%) meeting the guidelines (t = 6.74, df = 1, P = .02). Less than half met the PAG for combination (mean = 48.7%, 95% CI [34.69-62.97]), moderate (mean = 47.1%, 95% CI [33.62-61.07]), and about one-third met the PAG for vigorous PA (mean = 33.4%, 95% CI [24.55-43.62]). There were no significant differences between Asians and NHPI in PA. Policy, systems, and environmental changes as well as culturally appropriate interventions are needed to increase physical activity among NHPI.
