Physical Activity and Healthy Diet the Opportunities and Barriers among For King Saud University Working Women in Riyadh City
2025
Overview
Background: Understanding community perceptions, experiences, and the surrounding environment regarding opportunities and barriers to physical activity (PA) and a healthy diet is a prerequisite for designing effective interventions aimed at preventing related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to explore these factors among women working in office-based jobs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 132 Saudi women, aged 26-60, working in office-based jobs at King Saud University in Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Barriers were assessed using the Arabic version of the Capability Assessment for Diet and Activity (CADA) questionnaire, which is a validated, self-administered questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the participants was 40 ± 6.7 years. Acording to the body mass index, most participants were overweight or obese (44.7%). The study revealed that the most important opportunity for PA was the availability of nearby places. For a healthy diet, the availability of fresh foods was one of the most important opportunities, while the availability of time was 3.68±1.023, the most important barrier. Conclusion: This study identified opportunities and barriers to PA and a healthy diet in Saudi working women as a high-risk group for obesity and physical inactivity. The findings of this study may support healthy. environmental, and social initiatives and strategies to achieve healthy aspects for working women.
