Abstract

|
|
Background: The World Health Organization has indicated that insufficient physical activity (e.g. sedentary behavior) is one of the 10 leading risk factors of death worldwide. This study investigates the relationship between sedentary lifestyle and diseases, by assessing the prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic syndrome in Korea.
Methods: We analyzed data of 5,339 participants from the 2013 & 2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, in this cross-sectional study. Sitting time per week was verified by means of a questionnaire. To determine the relationship between average sitting time and diseases, we used the multiple logistic regression analysis and presented results as odds ratio (95% confidence interval).
Results: With a sitting time >10 hours, the odds ratio of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases in participants older than 65 years were found to be 2.093 and 2.143 respectively. The odds ratio of diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome were <2 after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoke, drink, and exercise.
Conclusion: This survey found no relationship between sitting time and the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. A higher risk of hypercholesterolemia was found to be associated with sitting time of >10 hours in individuals >65 years. Therefore, the longer the sitting time, the higher the prevalence risk of cardiovascular disease.
