Abstract
Background. The environment is an important determinant of physical behaviour and also affects the quality of life. A healthy lifestyle is considered to be the simplest form of hypertension prevention and therapy.
Objective. The aim of our study was to find the correlation of physical behaviour of patients with essential hypertension depending on the environment.
Method: We monitored the physical activity (PA) of 60 hypertensive patients from urban (n: 30) and rural (n: 30) environments with Actigraph accelerator. The average blood pressure values of the respondents were SBP 147 mmHg (± 8.24) and DBP 92.08 mmHg (± 8.08). Actigraph evaluated physical behaviour in the form of: sitting during the day, light, moderate and high physical activity (min/week) and steps (steps/week). The quality of life of the respondents was assessed by the Quality-of-Life SF36 – short version questionnaire.
Results. We confirm the statistically significant difference between hypertensive patients from urban and rural environments in the following categories: sitting during the day (p = 0.000052), light PA (p = 0.022009), medium PA (p = 0.0012 steps (p = 0.006993). Comparing the Quality-of-Life SF 36 questionnaire data, we find a worse quality of life in hypertensive patients living in rural areas (ø 74.40) than in hypertensive patients living in urban areas (ø 78.57).
Conclusion. Hypertensive patients living in rural areas have better physical behaviour than hypertensive patients living in urban areas, but larger population studies are needed to confirm the influence of the environment on physical activity and quality of life.

摘要
研究目的在分析环境、年龄、性别、身高和体重对骨盆脊柱综合症中选定大小的描述特征的影响。
材料和方法。该研究对象为2361名年龄在7至15岁间的儿童，依六个相隔半年的时间顺序进行，如此即可以摄影测量法记录描述身体姿势31项特征的16608个观测值。
结果。因所取得的测量次数和统计计算结果众多，所以只将具高度和中间影响力的结果列入分析，有意识地略过影响力小者。以最佳变量的子集来进行多元回归分析下，选择了五种影响参数，包括：环境：城市；年纪、性别：男生、女生；身高和体重等。变量集包括骨盆脊柱综合症的参数。
结论：
1. 环境、性别、身高和体重对选定身体姿势特性的影响是全向和多样化的。
2. 对身体姿势的具实质正面影响的包括性别、身高，再来是体重、环境和年龄。对身体姿势的实质负面影响的包括环境，然后是身高和体重，再来是性别和年龄。
3. 对 α 角大小的实质正面影响为体重和身高及环境，负面影响为性别和年龄。对胸椎后凸长度的负面影响为体重和身高及环境，而正面影响为性别和年龄。对腰椎前凸的正面影响为身高和环境，而负面影响为体重。
