Abstract EN
Objective.
The study examines relationships between physical activity levels and income status of working-age city residents.
Methods.
The study was carried out in the years 2014 and 2015 in Wrocław, Poland.
The study sample comprised 4332 participants (2276 women; 2056 men) aged 18 to 64 years.
Respondents’ habitual physical activity levels were measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), while their income status was assessed with author’s own Socio-Economic Status of Working-Age People Questionnaire (S-ESQ).
Results.
The results revealed positive correlations between the level of physical activity and income status of male and female working-age residents of Wrocław.
The highest physical activity levels were noted among respondents with a steady income, as well as among respondents with the highest income and savings and with no debts.
The odds for respondents’ above average physical activity levels were the greatest in women with the highest income and with savings and in debt-free men and women.
Conclusion.
Effective actions should be developed aimed at improvement of physical activity levels of people in an adverse financial situation.
