The fully adjusted Public health model showed an association between high exposure to TV viewing with MetS (OR ¼ 1.77 TV viewing [95%CI: 1.11e2.82]). The combination of physical inactivity and high TV viewing boosted the likelihood of having MetS (OR ¼ 1.89 [95%CI: 1.08e3.29]). Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that moderate and high TV viewing time is associated with the presence of MetS, mainly in insufficiently active adults and those living in lower economic condition. © 2018 The Royal Society for Public Health.

Material and Methods: Two hundred forty three female, desk-job work- ers aged 20–40 voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were assessed by the use of Oswestry Dis- ability Index for measuring LBP disability and by the use of the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for PA assessment. The 1-way ANOVA test was used for comparing the mean values according to the physical activity level groups. Correlations between the average LBP disability score and all the other variables were obtained using Pearson’s correlation analysis. The level of statistical significance was p < 0.05. Results: Significant differences were found for LBP disability score between the results of 3 different PA groups (p < 0.05) (low, mode- rate and high PA groups). The correlation between the average LBP disability score and body weight (r = 0.187, p < 0.01), body mass index (r = 0.165, p < 0.01), vigorous MET score (r = 0.247, p < 0.01) and total PA MET score (r = 0.131, p < 0.01) were significant. Conclusions: The main finding of this study is that there is a U-shaped relationship between PA and LBP disability score in young women.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the association of leisure-time sedentary and non-sedentary activities with body mass index (BMI, kg=m2) and with the prevalence of obesity (BMI > 30 kg=m2) in a sample of the 15 member states of the European Union. METHODS: Professional interviewers administered standardized in-home questionnaires to 15,239 men and women aged 15 years upwards, selected by a multi-stage strati®ed cluster sampling with quotas applied to ensure national and European representativeness. Energy expenditure during leisure time was calculated based on data on frequency of and amount of time participating in various physical activities, assigning metabolic equivalents (METS) to each activity.

  • Identifying the Common Sedentary Activities
    IDENTIFYING THE COMMON SEDENTARY ACTIVITIES/BEHAVIOURS, LEVELS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND TRENDS AMONGST STUDENTS Lisa Hartmann Abstract. The purpose of this research was to investigate the common sedentary activities and behaviours of students here in the Middle East and across the world, whilst exploring levels of physical activity and trends amongst students. The review of literature concentrated on uncovering research from 2005 to 2015 with the aim of discussing and critically analysing the different author’s points of view. During the review I have drawn on my own teaching experiences gained whilst living in the Middle East. The literature review has highlighted many causes of sedentary behaviour, and addressed the challenges that schools face when tackling the issue of sedentary students. The following factors that were associated with causing students to choose sedentary behaviours were identified amongst the research: health policies and strategies, parental education or influence, PE lessons and school environment (including effects on academic performance, snack, lunchtime breaks, and equipment available), participation in extra-curricular activities (involvement in sports teams, and the upsurge in use of technology), travel to and from school, and living in the UAE. In particular, the important role that schools play in the promotion and encouragement of physical activity, whilst reducing sedentary behaviours. Key words/phrases: Sedentary students, Sedentary behaviours, Physical Education lessons, school health programs, Physical Activity levels, school health policies and procedures. 1 Introduction Background and content The Department of Health, England (2010) outlines the significance of studying the health benefits of moderate to vigorous Physical Activity (PA), including activities such as cycling or fast walking.

Abstract Increased life expectancy on the one hand and dramatically reduced physical activity in daily life on the other hand are characteristic features of postmodern life. Consequently Homo sapiens is increasingly confronted with the problems associated with accelerated bone loss, osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures. This is true of Industrialised countries as well as of threshold countries. A major risk factor of osteoporosis and low bone mass is physical inactivity. Up to now, bone loss and osteoporosis are mainly focused on from a clinical viewpoint. In the present review a bioanthropological perspective of the association between physical inactivity and osteoporosis is provided.

Better understanding the impact of changes in physical activity behavior on short-term health care charges may inform resource allocation decisions to increase population levels of physical activity. This study examines the prospective relationship of changes in physical activity status on short-term changes in health care charges for older adults. Methods. A prospective cohort study was done on a stratified random sample of 2,393 adults aged 50 and older enrolled in a Minnesota health plan, predicting changes in resource use between two periods (September 1994 to August 1995 and September 1996 to August 1997) based on billed health care charges. Results. After adjustment for age, gender, comorbidity, smoking status, and body mass index, all physical activity states had declining health care charges, relative to those who were consistently inactive. Subjects who increased their physical activity from 0–1 to 3ϩ days/week had significant declines in their mean annualized total charges (Ϫ$2,202, P Ͻ 0.01) relative to those who remained inactive.
