LITERATURE REVIEW

In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, the prevalence of obesity, defined as a
body mass index [BMI] of > 30 kg/m2 , and obesity-related diseases are disproportionately high among
Indigenous peoples (Alaska Native Epidemiology Center, 2017; Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2008,
2015; Ellison-Loschmann & Pearce, 2006; Health; Public Health Agency of Canada, 2011a; Statistics
Canada, n.d.). These countries share similar settler colonial histories and health and social structures
leading to inequities in accessing resources, education, and health care. The term Indigenous is difficult
to define given the heterogeneity of Indigenous communities’ culture, history, and geographical
location. In general, Indigenous is used to refer to populations that resided in a geographical area before
colonization, who have distinct cultures and beliefs to the dominant group of society or those who self-
identify as Indigenous, among other criteria (Gracey & King, 2009). Together with marginaliza tion
and remoteness for many Indigenous communities, social, political, and environmental drivers have
contributed to the increased burden of chronic disease for these otherwise diverse populations (Ellison-
Loschmann & Pearce, 2006; Gracey & King, 2009; Public Health Agency of Canada, 2011b; Turin et
al., 2016; United Nations, 2013). Diabetes rates for Indigenous people are as high as two to three times
that of non-Indigenous (Anand et al., 2001; Burrow & Ride, 2016; Public Health Agency of Canada,
2011b; Oster et al., 2014; Prince et al., 2018; Young et al., 2000), and rates of stroke and cardiovascular
disease are reportedly 15%–20% higher (Anand et al., 2001; Australian Institute of Health and Welfare,
2015; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016; Reading, 2015; Young et al., 2000). There
are limited data in this respect regarding women generally, and even less information specific to
Indigenous women (Prince et al., 2018). Recent reviews have highlighted that the young female
Indigenous population is growing at a much higher rate than the non-Indigenous female population,
escalating the need to understand the potential burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes on women
(Prince et al., 2018). Health disparities among Indigenous women involve numerous factors interacting
at different socio-ecological levels, including individual, family, and community (Allan & Smylie,
2015). In addition, Browne and Smye (2002) noted the medicalization of social problems in health
discourses, where human problems and issues such as the complex interplay between individual,
social, and structural drivers of poor health outcomes are treated as medical conditions. Applying a
broader lens raises important questions about the role of psychological stress, mental health, and other
individual responses to social environments that shape obesity among Indigenous people. For instance,
in Canada, healthy and nurturing models for caregiving were disrupted by the Indian Residential
Schools system (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2015). A similar pro cess took
place in the United States as many Native children were coerced or forced into boarding schools.
Indigenous children in Australia were systematically removed from their families and Samoan ways
of life and culture were outlawed. Individuals suffered intense emotional and psychological stress due
to displacement, were deprived healthy and culturally appropriate role modeling, and were
subsequently challenged to model good health to their families. Epigenetic research indicates that
trauma from childhood, such as residential school attendance, may yield physical changes that could
be passed on through generations (Murgatroyd et al., 2010; Yehuda et al., 2016). Historical traumas
and ongoing forms of colonization and racism also degrade community structures, creating a dearth of
spiritual supports and infrastructure for activities that support wellness. It is important to reframe
obesity, from what Western scholars and health promoters have long seen as “lifestyle choice” to
recognize complex factors external to the individual and acknowledge how “choice” is often limited,
to help guide new program design to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous women. Weight
management programming literature from non Indigenous groups indicates that three-pronged
approaches are most impactful, focusing on nutrition education, improving physical activity (PA) and
behavior change strategies (Hoskin et al., 2014; Lindstrom et al., 2003; Look AHEAD Research Group
et al., 2013; Wing & Look AHEAD Research Group, 2014; “YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program,”
2015). Modest changes in diet and PA can lead to reductions of greater than 50% in the incidence of
8
diabetes among individuals with impaired glucose regulation (Tuomilehto et al., 2001). PA in
particular has been shown to have extensive benefits in the domains of physical, psychological,
emotional, and socio-cultural health (Tremblay & Craig, 2009). By contrast, physical inactivity is a
known risk factor for developing obesity and Type 2 diabetes (Tremblay et al., 2010). Historically, PA
was relatively high among Indigenous people and was a culturally valued necessity due to a life lived
close to the land (Afele-Fa’amuli et al., 2009; Foulds et al., 2011; Pargee et al., 1999). Women typically
have lower rates of PA than men (Bassett et al., 2010; Tudor-Locke et al., 2011). As the present rates
of PA for Indigenous women are lower than historical rates (Stefanich et al., 2005), health care
organizations are promoting programs targeting PA (Heard et al., 2017). The success of such
initiatives, however, is likely dependent on health care providers and those who develop and implement
health care initiatives having a clear understanding of the socio-political and environmental contexts
in which participants live and using community driven, participatory approaches to program
development (Rice et al., 2016). Rice et al. (2016) reviewed Canadian diabetes prevention/
management and obesity-related chronic disease programming for Indigenous people. They identified
13 programs between 2008 and 2014 mainly focused on rural communities. Eleven programs had PA
components, only 3 of which reported increases in PA or fitness. Teufel-Shone et al. (2009) reviewed
64 PA-based programs implemented with American Indian and Alaska Native populations in Canada
and the United States from 1986 to 2006 and found the majority (57.8%) focused on participants under
18 years of age; 72% were on reservations, and 41% showed significant impacts on health, behaviors,
or knowledge. Only one study reported significant improvements in PA levels. Sushames et al. (2016)
reviewed 13 studies of PA programming for Indigenous adults in Australia and New Zealand. Six of
these assessed PA measurements and only one showed significant improvement. All reviews discussed
the challenges of developing and executing rigorous programs in the community demonstrating
increased PA. Despite limited improvements in PA, improvements in other health or fitness outcomes
or knowledge of healthy behaviors and self-efficacy were found. The majority of programs reviewed
had cultural adaptations, but how or if the programs helped participants develop or improve their social
and environmental context in a way that would support long-term, meaningful behavior change was
rarely outlined. None of the above reviews offered specific information about how the programs
affected an individual’s social environment or vice versa, nor did they suggest gender-specific
differences. We performed a systematic review to summarize the impact of PA-based wellness
programs for Indigenous women on PA, weight changes, and participation rates. We also explored
which aspects of the programs influenced outcomes, the effect of the programs on participants’ social
community, and if changes in social support systems influenced outcomes or participant experience.
Physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Despite this, PA levels of adults across
developed nations remain low and the promotion of regular participation in PA is a key public health priority
[2]. Population level PA surveillance relies upon having tools to accurately measure activity across all
population sub-groups. In addition to surveillance, it is essential that valid, reliable and sensitive measures of
PA are available to practitioners, researchers and clinicians in order to examine the effectiveness of
interventions and public health initiatives. The accurate measurement of PA in adults has relevance not only
for refining our understanding of PA-related disorders [3], but also for defining the dose-response relationship
between the volume, duration, intensity and pattern of PA and the associated health benefits. A number of
methods are available for the assessment of PA [4]. When selecting a measurement technique, researchers and
practitioners need to consider not only feasibility and practicality of the measure, but also the methodological
effectiveness, such as the validity, reliability and sensitivity. Validity refers to the degree to which a test
measures what it is intended to measures, most often investigated by comparing the observed PA variables
determined by the proposed measure with another comparable measure [5]. Criterion validity is when a
measure is validated against the ‘gold standard’ measure. Good agreement between the proposed method and
the gold standard provides some assurance that the results are an accurate reflection of PA behaviour. Other
frequently examined forms of validity are concurrent validity (when two measures that give a result that is
supposed to be equal are compared) and construct validity (when two measures that are in the same construct
are compared). Reliability refers to the degree to which a test can produce consistent results on different
occasions, when there is no evidence of change, while sensitivity is the ability of the test to detect changes
over time [5]. In addition to methodological effectiveness, other factors need to be considered when selecting
a method for assessing PA and interpreting the findings derived from these methods. Feasibility often drives
the selection of the study measures. Some measures are more feasible than others depending on the setting,
number of participants and cost. For example, the use of activity monitors to estimate PA may be less feasible
in epidemiological studies where large numbers of individuals are being assessed. Reactivity may mean that
the act of measuring PA may change a person’s behaviour: for example, being observed for direct observation
[6] or wearing an activity monitor may cause the participant to alter their habitual PA behaviour [7]. When
using self-report measures, social desirability may result in over-reporting of PA among participants keen to
comply with the intervention aims [8]. These factors require careful consideration when selecting methods for
assessing PA. Although methods for the measurement of PA have been extensively examined, reviews to date
have focused on specific categories of methods (i.e. self-report questionnaires [9–11], specific techniques i.e.
Doubly Labelled Water (DLW) [12], smart phone technology [13], motion sensors and heart rate monitors
(HRM) [14], pedometers [15] or a comparison of two or more methods [16]). Some reviews looked
exclusively at specific PA behaviours (e.g. walking) [17] or focused solely on validity and/or reliability issues
[18–20]. Other reviews have concentrated on methods for assessing PA in population subgroups (e.g.
individuals with obesity [21] or older adults) [22–30]. Due to the level of variability in how information on
measurement properties has been presented, and due to the wide range of different measures examined in
existing reviews, it is extraordinarily difficult for researchers to compare and contrast measures of PA in adult
populations. The purpose of this article is to review existing reviews (a review of reviews) that have examined
the methodological effectiveness of measures of PA. To aid in the comparison of measurement properties
between different PA measures, original papers referred to within each review article were sourced, and
additional analysis of these references was completed to enable better comparison and interpretation of
findings. This review of reviews (as it will be referred to for the remainder of this article) is intended to
provide a concise summary of PA measurement in adults. This work was completed as a component of the
European DEDIPAC (DEterminants of DIet and Physical ACtivity) collaboration.
