Health Promotion Research, Havre, Montana, USA

Abstract: This BriefTrends describes the temporal trends in the prevalence (%) of adults meeting muscle strengthening activity (MSA) guidelines from 2011 to 2019 in Montana.

Keywords: muscle strengthening activity (MSA), BRFSS, public health, surveillance

Received June 20, 2022; Revised July 25, 2022; Accepted August 05, 2022

Citation: Peter D. Hart, BriefTrends: Trends in Meeting Muscle Strengthening Activity (MSA) Guidelines in Adults - Montana, 2011-2019. Journal of Physical Activity Research, 7 (2). 106-107. January 2022. doi:10.12691/jpar-7-2-5

1. Purpose

To examine the trends in the proportion of adults meeting muscle strengthening activity (MSA) guidelines, overall and by sex, in Montana.

2. Data Source

The 2011 (N=9,724), 2013 (N=9,116), 2015 (N=5,704), 2017 (N=5,612), and 2019 (N=6,049) cycles of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).

3. Population

Noninstitutionalized adults 18+ years of age in Montana.

4. Variables

1) Meeting muscle strengthening activity (MSA) guidelines (participated in MSA exercises 2+ times per week), 2) Year (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019), and 3) sex.

5. Analysis

Prevalence (%) estimates of meeting MSA guidelines across Year, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prevalence estimates, and Mantel-Haenszel Chi-Square (χ²MH) trend test. SAS Survey Procedures were used for estimates and CIs, version 9.4.

6. Findings

The prevalence of meeting MSA guidelines among adults in Montana increased from 30.2% (95% CI: 28.8-31.6) in 2011 to 39.7% (95% CI: 38.2-41.2) in 2019 (χ²MH= 123.6, p<.001). This prevalence in males increased from 33.4% (95% CI: 31.2-35.6) in 2011 to 41.6% (95% CI: 39.5-43.7) in 2019 (χ²MH= 60.7, p<.001). And in females increased from 27.0% (95% CI: 25.3-28.8) in 2011 to 37.8% (95% CI: 35.6-39.9) in 2019 (χ²MH= 32.0, p<.001). Sex differences disappeared after 2013, indicating a closing gap trend in meeting MSA guidelines prevalence between sex groups.
