Physical activity and motivational readiness for physical activity behavior change in adults with non-communicable diseases in Germany: a trend analysis of two cross-sectional health surveys from the German GEDA study 2014/2015 and 2019/2020
Lower rates of WHO PA recommendation fulfilment is recognized for most NCD groups compared to the population without NCD for both surveys, but the proportion of adults with NCD who meet the WHO PA recommendations differ widely between NCD groups. A positive trend from 2014/15 to 2019/20 can only be seen for adults with osteoarthritis. Based on our findings the implementation of PA promotion particular with regards to motivational readiness and disease specific PA measures is strongly recommended to improve prevention and ambulatory health care for adults with NCD.
