AB Purpose: Purpose to evaluate the prevalence and temporal trends in adherence to muscle-strengthening activity(MSA) guidelines among the US population from 1997 to 2018 (pre-Covid 19).Methods: We used nationally representative data from the National Health Interview Survey of the US (NHIS; across-sectional household interview survey). We pooled data from 22 consecutive cycles (1997 to 2018) andestimated prevalence and trends of adherence to MSA guidelines among adults aged 18–24 years, 25–34 years,35–44 years, 45–64 years, and ≥ 65 years.Results: A total of 651,682 participants (mean age 47.7 years [SD = 18.0], 55.8% women) were included. Theoverall prevalence of adherence to MSA guidelines significantly increased (p < .001) from 1997 to 2018 (19.8%to 27.2%, respectively). Adherence levels significantly increased (p < .001) for all age groups from 1997 to 2018.Compared with their white non-Hispanic counterparts, the odds ratio for Hispanic females was 0.5 (95% CI =0.4–0.6).Conclusions: It is over a 20-year span, adherence to MSA guidelines increased across all age groups, although theoverall prevalence remained below 30%. Future intervention strategies to promote MSA are required with aparticular focus on older adults, women, Hispanic women, current smokers, those with low educational levels,and those with functional limitations or chronic conditions.
