ABSTRACT
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends physical activity for more than 150 minutes a week to improve health and reduce disease burden; however, previous studies have shown a lack of participation among persons with disabilities. Logistic regression analysis was performed on National Health Insurance Service data to analyze the relationship between physical activity levels by disability type and socioeconomic factors. The results showed that women with disabilities exercised 0.663 times compared to men with disabilities and individuals with severe disabilities exercised 0.719 times compared to those with mild disabilities. Those from the highest income level households (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.442) and the re-employed (AOR = 1.119) exercised adequately. Thus, physical activity levels and socioeconomic factors are related in persons with disabilities. Exercise policies and programs are required to support persons with disabilities by income level.
