摘要:
背景。促进体育活动是预防慢性疾病的关键干预措施,通过降低心血管疾病、2型糖尿病和某些癌症的风险,并改善大脑健康。先前强调体能的方法没有满足较大人群的需求,因为它们没有将运动整合到日常生活中。即使是增加很小的身体活动量,例如通过积极的交通方式,也可以显著改善生活质量和寿命。创新方法。为了增加积极交通的机会,犹他州的机构正在跨部门合作,将身体活动融入日常活动中,帮助解决这个具有挑战性的公共卫生问题。人力出行是支持健康和健康行为的社区设计的关键组成部分。犹他州健康和人类服务部(DHHS)建立了与合作伙伴的关系,以促进积极的交通。经验教训与建议。本文将展示公共卫生、交通和规划机构如何更好地参与,为所有人提供身体活动的机会。DHHS强调在州政府机构之间共享公共卫生数据的重要性,纳入代表少数人群的社区反馈,并参与支持公共卫生参与交通规划的共享项目。
Background. Physical activity promotion is an essential intervention for the prevention of chronic disease by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers, as well as improving brain health. Previous approaches that emphasized physical fitness did not meet the needs of the larger population due to not incorporating integration of movement into daily life. Changes that result in the addition of even small amounts of physical activity, such as through active transportation, can make a big difference in quality of life and longevity. Innovative Approach. To increase opportunities for active transportation, Utah agencies are working across sectors to incorporate physical activity into routine, day-to-day activities that may help to address this challenging public health problem. Human-powered travel is a key component of community design supporting health and healthy behaviors. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) built relationships with partners in order to promote active transportation. Lessons Learned & Recommendations. This article will demonstrate ways in which public health, transportation, and planning agencies can better engage to provide opportunities for all people to be physically active. DHHS addresses the importance of sharing public health data among state agencies, inclusion of under-represented populations in community feedback, and engaging in shared projects that will support the involvement of public health in transportation planning.
