ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the association of sedentary behavior and time with risk of metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods A total of 10 149 subjects were recruited from local residents aged ≥40 years old in Jiashan County by cluster-random sampling method.The data including physical activity,job,sedentary time,and sleep,etc.were collected.Height and body weight,waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipid,etc.were determined.Logistic regression was used for correlation analysis.Results The prevalence of MS was 28.64％ in local residents over 40 years old in Jiashan.The rate of sedentary behavior in all subjects was 67.57％,with 3 h sedentary time on average.Compared with non-MS group,the rates of sedentary behavior and sedentary time were significantly higher in MS group (P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior was independently associated with an increased risk of MS after adjustment for age,sex,body mass index (BMI),smoking,drinking,and sedentary time(OR=1.16,95％ CI 1.03-1.30,P=0.017).Increased sedentary time was associated with higher risks of hypertension,type 2 diabetes mellitus,and dyslipidemia (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Sedentary time ≥ 5 h/d independently increased the risk of MS (OR =1.15,95％ CI 1.01-1.31,P =0.034).Conclusions There is a high prevalence of MS in adults over 40 years old living in the eastern coastal rural area.MS and its related diseases are closely associated with sedentary behavior and its duration.
