Association between sedentary behavior and anthropometric and metabolic profiles among adolescents

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the association between sedentary behavior and the anthropometric and metabolic profiles within a sample group of 572 adolescents from public schools in the city of Curitiba, State of Paraná, Brazil. Approximately 8 ml of blood was drawn to measure total cholesterol (TC), LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides, and glucose. Stature and body mass were measured to calculate the body mass index. Information about the subjects' socioeconomic status, physical activity level, sedentar… Show more

“…This study showed that SB in Brazilian adolescents, assessed using different cut-off points, was associated with sociodemographic characteristics (gender, age, color/race, household economic status, student's employment, and maternal education level), social support (existence of close friends and parents who regularly checked homework activities), and behavioral and health factors (physical activity, alcohol use, tobacco use, fruit consumption, and soft drink consumption and self-assessed health status). Girls had a higher SB prevalence than boys at all cut-off points, as reported in previous studies [3,20]. Time spent on the telephone, listening to music, doing homework, writing, talking, and parent restrictions on girls' participation in outdoor activities may contribute to the gender disparity in SB [21,22].…”

“…[11][12][13] Most of the studies used self-reported questionnaires, but less than half the studies reported information about instrument validity. 9,14,17,18,[30][31][32][33]36,42,[52][53][54][59][60][61][62]65,[67][68][69][70][73][74][75][77][78][79][80][81]86,93,94,97,[99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106] Only three studies assessed sedentary behavior using accelerometers. 11,15,16 The cut-off point used in the studies varied considerably from 2 to 4 hours, although most studies used cut-off point of 2 hours of screen time: 20 studies 18,20,21,27,[30][31][32][33]…”

“…Different studies have demonstrated that health-related risk factors are associated with conditions for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases in children and adolescents [2][3][4][5][6] . In addition, the increase of metabolic disorders such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, elevated serum triglyceride and total cholesterol, and decreased high-density lipoprotein with abdominal adiposity, can lead to metabolic syndrome 7 .…”
