Brief Summary: To determine the magnitude of the relationship between physical activity level and subsequent health care utilization over a seven to ten week period in a general population
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

In recent years the benefits of a physically active lifestyle have been well established with respect to chronic health problems such as coronary heart disease hypertension obesity and osteoporosis However the extent to which physical activity influences health care utilization is less clear If physical activity levels are inversely associated with utilization patterns then policies encouraging exercise may produce short-term reduction in health care costs

DESIGN NARRATIVE

A multivariate regression analysis was conducted for a representative sample of more than 600 adults who participated in a longitudinal field trial of health risk appraisal instruments Using the Harvard Alumni Activity Survey as the physical activity measure the analysis controlled for a variety of predisposing enabling and need characteristics that also influenced utilization behavior
