Associations of mutually exclusive categories of physical activity and sedentary time with metabolic syndrome in older adults: an isotemporal substitution approach
The aims of this study were to examine how theoretically reallocating time between mutually exclusive behavioral categories intensity of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SB) are associated with metabolic syndome ( MetS )). Four hundred and six older adults (61.6% women) from the second wav...

| Summary: | The aims of this study were to examine how theoretically reallocating time between mutually exclusive behavioral categories intensity of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SB) are associated with metabolic syndome ( MetS )). Four hundred and six older adults (61.6% women) from the second wave of the EpiFloripa Ageing Cohort Study were included in the study (mean age 71.7 ± 5.9 years). Is otemporal substitution anal y s i s showed a decrease of 35% (OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45 0.96) in the risk for MetS when replacing 30 min/day of SB with an equivalent amount of moderate vigorous PA . Furthermore, it has been observed that older adults classified as low SB and physically active were 57% less likely to have MetS than participants classified as high sedentary and physically inactive (OR : 0.43; 95% CI: 0.19 0.97). This study highlights the importance of behavioral categories that may emerge concerning the interrelationships of PA and health in older adults , having important implications for future intervention programs and health interventions |
