ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between rural to urban migration and physical activity (PA) in India.Methods6,447 (42% women) participants comprising 2077 rural, 2,094 migrants and 2,276 urban were recruited. Total activity (MET hr/day), activity intensity (min/day), PA Level (PAL) television viewing and sleeping (min/day) were estimated and associations with migrant status examined, adjusting for the sib-pair design, age, site, occupation, education, and socio-economic position (SEP).ResultsTotal activity was highest in rural men whereas migrant and urban men had broadly similar activity levels (pConclusionOur findings suggest that migrants have already acquired PA levels that closely resemble long-term urban residents. Effective public health interventions to increase PA are needed. |
