Physician advice and support for physical activity
Abstract
Background It is increasingly well documented that physical activity (PA) is a key preventive behavior and that visits to a physician provide an important opportunity for advice and counseling. This paper reports on physician counseling behaviors regarding PA and other chronic disease risk factors from a national survey.Methods A diverse sample of U.S. adults (N=1818), with oversampling of lower-income households, was surveyed about their PA level as well as a host of social, environmental, and physician counseling issues.Results Overall, 28% of respondents reported receiving physician advice to increase their PA level. Of those who received advice, only 38% received help formulating a specific activity plan and 42% received follow-up support. Patients who received advice and support were more likely to be older, nonwhite, and to have more chronic illnesses and more contact with their doctor.Conclusions Physician advice, counseling, and follow-up are important components of the social-environmental supports needed to increase population PA levels. Health system changes, including teaching communication skills, prompts to use those skills, and system changes to support attention to PA, are needed to extend promotion of PA to more patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
