- W1506713847 abstract "In recent decades, the prevalence of physical activity has declined considerably in manyhigh-income countries, and this has been linked to rising levels of obesity and severalweight-related medical conditions such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer.There is some evidence that areas experiencing the lowest levels of physical activity tendto be those which have undergone a particularly strong transition away fromemployment in physically demanding occupations. It is proposed that such processes ofindustrial restructuring may be causally linked to unexplained geographical variations inactivity patterns. Although the socio-cultural correlates of activity behaviours have beenwell studied, none have explicitly attempted to identify components of industrial changethat may impact physical activity.This thesis addresses the gap in knowledge surrounding the socio-cultural context ofindustrial restructuring by investigating where, how and why dimensions of industrialchange may impact current levels of physical activity in England. The research applies amixed methods approach using GIS techniques, multilevel modelling and qualitativeresearch interviewing. Firstly, the current literature on socio-cultural correlates of healthbehaviours is reviewed to present a novel conceptual framework that hypothesises howprocesses between physical activity and industrial restructuring may be linked in context.Subsequently, measures of industrial restructuring as well as physical activity aredeveloped to analyse spatial variations in activity patterns across England. The analysesfocus on how employment decline in physically demanding occupations may affectcurrent levels of physical activity across different activity domains and relevant macroeconomictime periods. Finally, this research aims to get an insight in the mechanismsunderlying the relationship between physical activity and industrial restructuring.Results from this research showed geographical variations with distinctive urban-ruraldisparities in levels of predominantly recreational physical activity across England.Processes of industrial restructuring appeared to be associated with patterns of physicalactivity, although the nature of the association differed across areas, time periods andemployment types. The results also highlighted the plausible impact of inherited culturesand regional identities on health-related behaviours. Socio-cultural factors relevant in thecontext of industrial restructuring are likely to provide valuable context in activityrelatedresearch." @default.
