The Prediction of Conscious Awareness in Women’s Physical Activity Level and Healthy Living Habits

Abstract

Health is not only a state of physical well-being, but also a state of well-being in all aspects, both psychologically and sociologically. It is known that women all over the world lag behind in physical activity level. However, it is not known how much female are aware of this situation. In this respect, it is aimed to reveal the conscious awareness levels of how much women are aware of this situation. A total of 474 female participants from 7 geographical regions throughout Türkiye were included in the research. Personal information form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and Mindful Awareness Scale (MAS) were used in the research. The data obtained in the research were analyzed in the Jamovi (2.3.21.0) statistical program at a 95% confidence interval and 0.05 significance level. In the analysis of the data, t-test, ANOVA, and Linear Regression analysis were used in independent groups. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the majority of women were married, worked as civil servants, did not consume cigarettes and alcohol, paid attention to healthy nutrition, and used pedometer. It was determined that the majority of woman had a normal body mass index (BMI), their total Metabolic Equivalent (MET) levels were at a good level and their conscious awareness levels were at a moderate level. Total MET scores of females in the Black Sea region were significantly higher than women in the Central Anatolia region (p<0.05). It was concluded that the conscious awareness scores of females did not predict BMI and total MET scores (p>0.05). As a result, it can be said that the healthy living habits of female in Türkiye are at a good level, but this cannot be predicted with the level of conscious awareness.
