Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate gender related factors that influence regular exercise adherence in patients with coronary artery disease.
METHODS
This secondary analysis study used data from the 2013~2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Three hundred and eighty patients over 20 years of age and having coronary artery disease were selected for this study. Measures included questions about regular exercise, general characteristics, health behaviors, and health status. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Rao-Scott χ² statistic, and multiple logistic regression analysis with the SPSS 21.0 program.
RESULTS
The results were as follows. Men did more regular exercise than women (58.8% vs 40.1%). The multivariate-adjusted Odds Ratios (OR) for regular exercise adherence in men were 2.93 (95% CI: 1.39~6.17) for non smokers and 3.06 (95% CI: 1.53~6.13) for men with 0 to 1 comorbidities. Women had a high odds ratios of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.18~0.82) for not using alcohol and 2.10 (95% CI: 1.03~4.29) for no back pain.
CONCLUSION
To improve regular exercise adherence in patients with coronary artery disease, it is necessary to develop different approaches considering gender.
