Purpose. To evaluate children’s psychosocial and environmental factors associated with sedentary behavior (SB).Method. The study involved a total of 420 children (mean 9.2 years; 52.9% girls) from the community of Madrid, Spain. SB and physical activity (PA) were objectively measured using accelerometers. TV viewing and potential correlates were assessed by questionnaire. Mixed-model regression analysis, adjusted for clustering within school locations, evaluated the relation of each independent variable with SBs.Results. Girls showed higher levels of SB than boys, whereas boys reported more TV viewing (p<.001in all cases). Regression analysis showed that MVPA levels were negatively related to objective SB measurement in both boys and girls (p<.001). Parent and friend support to PA were negatively associated with SB on weekdays in boys and girls, respectively (p<.05). In the boys’ group, parental professional level was a positive predictor of SB on weekend days (p=.011). Boys with more positive neighborhood perceptions spent less time watching TV (p<.001), whereas mother’s leisure-time PA level was a negative correlate of TV viewing in girls’ group (p<.01).Conclusion. Different psychosocial and environmental correlates of SB were identified. Present findings are promising targets for interventions to improve children’s health.

Abstract Physical activity (PA) and avoidance of inactivity are recommended in cancer survivorship. But survivors are not meeting these recommendations. We used national data (NHANES) collected 2011-2014 (n=9620) to estimate associations of PA and TV viewing with 3 health outcomes: self-rated health, functional limitations and multimorbidity in older cancer survivors and adults without cancer. Greater PA was associated with reporting excellent health in survivors. Survivors that obtained 22.5+ MET-hours/week were 5.5 times more likely to report excellent health than those that did no exercise (OR=5.5, p&lt;.001). We observed a decrease in likelihood of multimorbidity and functional limitations with increasing PA (both significant at p&lt;.001). We noted survivors that abstained from watching TV were 3x more likely to report excellent health and between 60-80% less likely to report functional limitations and multimorbidity than TV watchers (p&lt;001). Findings with non-cancer adults were similar. Survivors need PA and reduced TV to maximize health outcomes.

Background:The purposes were 1) to determine if different leisure-time sedentary behaviors (LTSB), such as TV/video/video game viewing/playing (TV), reading for pleasure (reading), and nonschool computer usage, were associated with childhood overweight status, and 2) to assess the social-ecological correlates of LTSB.Methods:The analytic sample was 33,117 (16,952 boys and 16,165 girls) participants from the 2003 National Survey of Children’s Health. The cut-point for excessive TV and nonschool computer usage was ≥ 2 hr/day. High quantities of daily reading for pleasure were classified as ≥ 31 min/day. Weighted descriptive characteristics were calculated on the sample (means ± SE or frequency). Logistic regression models were used to determine if the LTSB were associated with overweight status and to examine social-ecological correlates.Results:Over 35% of the sample was overweight. Odds of being overweight were higher in the 2 to 3 hr/day (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.76) and ≥ 4 hr/day (OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.22, 1.91) daily TV groups compared with none. Reading and nonschool computer usage was not associated with being overweight.Conclusions:TV was associated with overweight classification; however, nonschool computer usage and reading were not. Several individual, family, and community correlates were associated with high volumes of daily TV viewing.

Background:Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors have been linked with impaired health outcomes. Establishing the physical inactivity profiles of a given population is needed to establish program targets and to contribute to international monitoring efforts. We report the prevalence of, and explore sociodemographical and built environment factors associated with physical inactivity in 4 resource-limited settings in Peru: rural Puno, urban Puno, Pampas de San Juan de Miraflores (urban), and Tumbes (semiurban).Methods:Cross-sectional analysis of the CRONICAS Cohort Study’s baseline assessment. Outcomes of interest were physical inactivity of leisure time (<600 MET-min/week) and transport-related physical activity (not reporting walking or cycling trips) domains of the IPAQ, as well as watching TV, as a proxy of sedentarism (≥2 hours per day). Exposures included demographic factors and perceptions about neighborhood’s safety. Associations were explored using Poisson regression models with robust standard errors. Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) are presented.Results:Data from 3593 individuals were included: 48.5% males, mean age 55.1 (SD: 12.7) years. Physical inactivity was present at rates of 93.7% (95% CI 93.0%–94.5%) and 9.3% (95% CI 8.3%–10.2%) within the leisure time and transport domains, respectively. In addition, 41.7% (95% CI 40.1%–43.3%) of participants reported watching TV for more than 2 hours per day. Rates varied according to study settings (P < .001). In multivariable analysis, being from rural settings was associated with 3% higher prevalence of leisure time physical inactivity relative to highly urban Lima. The pattern was different for transport-related physical inactivity: both Puno sites had around 75% to 50% lower prevalence of physical inactivity. Too much traffic was associated with higher levels of transport-related physical inactivity (PR = 1.24; 95% CI 1.01–1.54).Conclusions:Our study showed high levels of inactivity and marked contrasting patterns by rural/urban sites. These findings highlight the need to generate synergies to expand nationwide physical activity surveillance systems.

Abstract Time spent sitting in different settings can pose different risks to health. In Australian adults either with higher and lower diabetes risk, this study examined the differing compositions of self-reported sitting time accumulated in five contexts (occupational, transport, TV viewing, leisure computer-use and other). Participants (n = 3927; 60 ± 11 years; 45% male) were from the 2011–2012 assessment wave of the AusDiab study. The relative compositions of self-reported context-specific sedentary behaviors to total sitting time were compared between those with and without previously undiagnosed dysglycaemia (impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or newly diagnosed T2D), in working (323 with, 1646 without; 5-part composition) and non-working (433, 1525; 4-part composition) adults. For working adults, compared to those without dysglycaemia, those with undiagnosed dysglycemia spent the same proportion of time sitting at work, 3% more time sitting during transport, 9% more time sitting watching TV, 2% less time sitting using a computer for leisure, and 9% less time sitting during other activities. For non-working adults, compared to those without, those with dysglycemia spent 26% less time sitting during transport, 9% more time sitting while watching TV, 29% less time sitting using a computer for leisure, and 5% more time sitting during other activities. In addition to addressing overall sitting time, those with higher levels of diabetes risk may benefit from targeted reductions in context-specific sedentary behaviors, particularly TV viewing time. These findings also provide a case in point with potential relevance for other health problems associated with sedentary behavior.

INTRODUCTION: Television (TV) viewing is blamed as a contributor to low physical activity levels in children, yet it is unclear if such a sedentary behavior actually displaces exercise. HYPOTHESIS: Children who engage in higher levels of TV viewing will be less active than children who watch <1 hour of TV/day. METHODS: This study utilized the ‘Growing up in Ireland’ (2008) first wave of data which is a longitudinal study of a representative sample of over 8,000 9 year olds. The main caregiver reported the number of hours/day the child spent watching TV/video/DVDs and responses were then classified as: <1, 1-3 and >3 hours. The number of days out of the previous 14 that the child had engaged in ‘hard’ and ‘light’ exercise for at least 20 minutes was also reported. Responses were classified as ≥9 days (highest possible answer) or ≤8 days out of 14. Odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 3956 male and 4152 female 9 year olds. Overall, 12.4% of males and 14.1% of females, 32.0% of males and 32.6% of females and 4.4% of males and 4.5% of females watched <1 hour, 1-3 hours and >3 hours of TV/day respectively. Compared to children who watched less than 1 hour of TV/day, children who watched 1-3 or >3 hours/day had significantly lower odds of engaging in exercise ( Table 1 ). Table 1. Odds ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) for TV viewing and likelihood of engaging in 20 minutes of ‘hard’ and ‘light’ exercise on 9 or greater days out of 14 days. Hours of TV/Video/DVD ‘Hard Exercise’ ‘Light Exercise’ Male Female Male Female <1 Referent Referent Referent Referent 1 to 3 0.8 (0.7-0.9) 0.7 (0.6-0.9) 0.7 (0.6-0.8) 0.8 (0.7-0.9) >3 0.4 (0.3-0.6) 0.5 (0.4-0.6) 0.4 (0.3-0.5) 0.5 (0.4-0.6) Analysis controlled for social class (defined from the parent’s occupation and categorized under professional managers, non-manual/skilled manual and semi-skilled/unskilled manual) CONCLUSION: Children with higher levels of TV viewing were less likely to engage in hard or light exercise. These findings support the displacement hypothesis where sedentary behaviors reduce children’s amount of exercise.

This study analyzes the relationships between leisure time physical activity (LTPA), sedentary behaviors, socioeconomic status, and perceived environmental variables. The sample comprised 815 girls and 746 boys. In girls, non-LTPA participants reported significantly more screen time. Girls with safety concerns were more likely to be in the non-LTPA group (OR = 0.60) and those who agreed with the importance of aesthetics were more likely to be in the active-LTPA group (OR = 1.59). In girls, an increase of 1 hr of TV watching was a significant predictor of non-LTPA (OR = 0.38). LTPA for girls, but not for boys, seems to be influenced by certain modifiable factors of the built environment, as well as by time watching TV.

With the increase in meals eaten outside the home, sodium reduction in restaurant foods is essential for reducing sodium intake. This study aimed to assess the stages of behavioral change for reducing sodium and the differences in perceptions among restaurant staff by stage. Restaurant owners and cooks (n = 313) in Seongnam, South Korea were surveyed on their stage of behavioral change, practices, and perceptive factors related to sodium reduction in restaurant meals using a questionnaire. The proportion of behavioral change by stage was 20.4% in the maintenance and action (MA) stage, 32.3% in the preparation (P) stage, and 47.3% in the pre-preparation (PP) stage, which included contemplation and pre-contemplation stages. The items that represent differences among the groups were recognition of social environment for sodium reduction, practice of weighing condiments and measuring salinity, and feasibility of actions related to low-sodium cooking. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios for practice and perceptive factors by using stage of behavioral change as the independent variable. Factors associated with being in the MA stage were weighing condiments, measuring salinity, and high feasibility of actions related to low-sodium cooking. Recognition of sodium labeling and anticipation of better taste by reducing sodium increased the odds of being in the P stage rather than the PP stage. These results suggest that customized stepwise education and support are needed for the efficacy of restaurant-based sodium reduction programs.
