“…Watching TV, another sedentary behaviors, was positively associated with high triglyceride and high glucose, (ORs of 2.59 and 13.9 respectively for watching TV ≥ 21h/week vs. 0–5 h/week) in Taiwanese adults [ 10 ] and associated with central obesity in rural Indian women [ 50 ]. We found that watching TV over 14h/w was associated with a risk of high waist circumference in men (OR = 1.20) and high triglyceride in women (OR = 1.09), compared with people watching TV 7 hours per week or less.…”

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome is prevalent worldwide and its prevalence is related to physical activity, race, and lifestyle. Little data is available for people living in rural areas of China. In this study we examined associations of physical activity and sedentary behaviors with metabolic syndrome components among people in rural China.MethodsThe Nantong Metabolic Syndrome Study recruited 13,505 female and 6,997 male participants between 2007 and 2008. Data of socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyle were collected. The associations of physical activity and sedentary behaviors with metabolic syndrome components were analyzed.ResultsPrevalence of metabolic syndrome was 21.6%. It was significantly lower in men than in women. Low risks of metabolic syndrome were observed in those who did less sitting and engaged in more vigorous physical activity. The highest tertile of vigorous physical activity was associated with 15–40% decreased odds of metabolic syndrome and all of its components, except for low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in men. Women with the highest tertile of moderate physical activity had 15–30% lower odds of central obesity, high glucose, and high triglycerides compared with those in the lowest tertile. Sitting time >42 hours per week had a 4%-12% attributable risk of metabolic syndrome, central obesity, and high triglycerides in both genders, and abnormal glucose and diastolic blood pressure in women. Sleeping for more than 8 hours per day was associated with risk of high serum glucose and lipids.ConclusionsOur data suggested that physical activity has a preventive effect against metabolic syndrome and all its abnormal components, and that longer sitting time and sleep duration are associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome components, including central obesity and high triglycerides, glucose, and diastolic blood pressure. This study could provide information for future investigation into these associations. Also, recommendations are developed to reduce prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in rural Chinese populations.

“…Several observational studies with objective measures of sedentary time that include television viewing time have reported associations of total sedentary time with body composition, obesity, and adiposity. [17,41–44] It has been shown that obesity is associated with reduced disc height [45] and increased fat mass is associated with LBP. [34,46] In this study, however, we have adjusted for BMI.…”

Association of television viewing time with central obesity status in rural Asian Indian Women: Santiniketan women study

Abstract: Increased leisure-time activity was associated with central obesity status and warrant early intervention to prevent increasing incidences of cardiovascular disease in this population.
