Overview

Cross-sectional study explores sedentary behavior correlates in adults with chronic conditions, indicating potential intervention targets.

Key Points

  • This study investigates the relationship between clinical characteristics, sociodemographic factors, and sedentary behavior in adults with chronic conditions.
  • Cross-sectional design using data from the Lolland-Falster Health Study.
  • Participants included Danish adults (≥ 18 years) with at least one medical condition and valid accelerometer data.
  • Sedentary behavior was measured with accelerometers, assessing daily sedentary time and bout length.
  • Backwards stepwise regression was employed to examine the associations between factors and sedentary behavior.
  • Obesity class III linked to 1.43 more sedentary hours/day compared to underweight/normal weight.
  • Having three or more medical conditions associated with increased sedentary hours/day compared to fewer conditions.
  • Living alone linked to more sedentary hours and longer sedentary bouts than being married/living with a partner.
  • Unemployment/retirement related to higher sedentary hours/day than paid employment.
  • Women exhibited fewer sedentary hours/day than men, and lower mental well-being correlated with higher sedentary hours.
