Short name: | PI 07-Levels of physical activity, 2012 |
METEOR identifier: | 438591 |
Registration status: | Indigenous, Superseded 13/06/2013 |
Description: | Proportion of Australians by level of physical activity, by Indigenous status. |
Rationale: | Participation in sport, recreation or fitness has the potential to lead to improvement in long-term health, and physical and mental wellbeing. Long-term health gains obtained from increased participation by Indigenous Australians in such activities will contribute to closing the gap in life expectancy. |

Computation description: | Crude rates are calculated for Indigenous Australians. Age-standardised rates are calculated for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. 95% Confidence intervals and relative standard errors are calculated for crude and age-standardised rates. Rate ratios and rate differences are calculated for Indigenous: non-Indigenous. Presentation: Number, rate per 100 persons (percentage), rate ratio, rate difference, confidence intervals, and relative standard error. |
Computation: | Crude rate: 100 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator). Age-standardised rate: calculated using the direct method with the 2001 Australian population as at 30 June as the standard. Ten year age groups are used from 0-4 to 55 years and over to be consistent with published estimates by the ABS. Rate ratio: Indigenous age-standardised rate divided by non-Indigenous age-standardised rate. Rate difference: Indigenous age-standardised rate minus non-Indigenous age-standardised rate. |
Numerator: | People aged 15 years and over by level of physical activity (sedentary, low, moderate, high) |
