Abstract：
PURPOSE:To estimate the prevalence of physical activity (PA) and associated variables in the Moroccan adult population. METHODS:Population-based, May 2008 survey of a representative sample of Moroccan adults. PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). RESULTS:Mean age was 41.4 years (26.2-56.6). Of the 2613 subjects, 48.1% were women and 58% lived in urban areas. The prevalence of the lowest physically active category was 16.5% overall, 24% in women and 9% in men (p < 0.001). Unemployed (18.6%) and retired individuals (17.9%), housewives (28.2%) and married persons (19.7%) reported lower levels of physical activity. Older age, unemployment or retirement, having high income, and being overweight or obese were the main determinants of low PA levels in men. In women, the main determinants of low PA levels were living in an urban area and being a housewife. CONCLUSION:This survey has identified that urbanization and having high income are main determinants of low physical activity in Moroccan adults in a country undergoing economic transition.
