Background: This study aimed to investigate the association of work and leisure-time physical activities with metabolic syndrome in male workers.
Methods: This study included 1,162 male workers between the ages of 25 and 64 years who participated in the 2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects were divided into 4 groups according to levels (sufficient or insufficient) of work and leisure-time physical activities, and further divided into high, moderate, and low physical activity groups. The complex-samples logistic regression analysis was used for the analysis.
Results: No association was found between physical activities and metabolic syndrome among the 4 groups. Regarding the components of metabolic syndrome, such as fasting blood glucose level of ≥100 mg/dL or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of 〈40 mg/dL, the odds ratio was smaller for group 3 (work physical activity insufficiency and leisure-time physical activity sufficiency) as opposed to that of group 4 (work and leisure-time physical activity insufficiency). However, no statistically significant difference was found after adjusting for compounding variables. In addition, the relationship between total physical activity level and metabolic syndrome was examined. As a result, the odds ratio of metabolic syndrome based on the low physical activity group was not significantly different between the moderate and high physical activity groups.
Conclusion: No associations were found between the work and leisure-time physical activities of the male workers aged between 25 and 64 years and metabolic syndrome. Total physical activity level and metabolic syndrome were also not related.
