Background:Chronic stress and/or lifetime traumatic stress can create a self-reinforcing cycle of unhealthy behaviors, such as overeating and sedentary behavior, that can lead to further increases in stress. This study examined the relationship between stress and sedentary behavior in a sample of Hispanic/Latino adults (N = 4244) from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos Sociocultural Ancillary Study.Methods:Stress was measured as the number of ongoing difficulties lasting 6 months or more and as lifetime exposure to traumatic events. Sedentary behavior was measured by self-report and with accelerometer. Multivariable regression models examined associations of stress measures with time spent in sedentary behaviors adjusting by potential confounders.Results:Those who reported more than one chronic stressor spent, on average, 8 to 10 additional minutes per day in objectively measured sedentary activities (P < .05), whereas those with more than one lifetime traumatic stressor spent (after we adjusted for confounders) 10 to 14 additional minutes in sedentary activities (P < .01) compared with those who did not report any stressors. Statistical interactions between the 2 stress measures and age or sex were not significant.Conclusion:Interventions aimed at reducing sedentary behaviors might consider incorporating stress reduction into their approaches.

<b>Objective: </b>Various organizations have highlighted the need to examine whether abdominal obesity cut-points are appropriate for identification of cardiovascular risk among ethnic minority adults, particularly Hispanic/Latino living in western societies. This study aimed (1) to establish optimal definitions for abdominal obesity among Hispanic/Latinos, and (2) determine the level of agreement between the presence of metabolic syndrome diagnosed by the current Joint Interim Statement (IJS) definition and an updated definition with optimal abdominal obesity cut points. <p><b>Research Design and Methods:</b> The sample included 16,289 adults who self-identified as Hispanic/Latino ages 18-74 years enrolled in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). Receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to derive sensitivity and specificity values. The largest sum of sensitivity plus specificity was used to determine appropriate cut-points. </p> <p><b>Results:</b> Among US Hispanic/Latino adults, waist circumference cut points of >102 cm in men (in line with current IJS criteria) and >97 cm (9 points higher than IJS criteria) in women provide optimal discrimination for cardiovascular risk as judged by the presence of coronary heart disease. When using these cut points to create an updated metabolic syndrome definition among women, we found disagreement between our updated definition and the current IJS criteria. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was overestimated by about 5% points among women based on IJS criteria when compared to our definition. </p> <p><b>Conclusions: </b>Our results suggest that the current recommendations for waist circumference cut-points may not be appropriate for US Hispanic/Latino women. </p>
