- Abstract
Introduction: The association between Sedentary Lifestyle (SL) and Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) takes decades of exposure. It is possible to be seen at an early stage in young adults due to some clinical findings. Objective: Test the hypothesis that a sedentary lifestyle in young adults is associated with some signs or symptoms of alarm for the further development of NCD. Methodology: Using the initial evaluation (years 2000-2003) of CHICAMOCHA project, it was found that 1539 blood donors were healthy with negative screening test results (mean age 36, SD 8.3 years, 66% male). The association between sedentary lifestyle and a series of clinical findings was studied. Sedentary Lifestyle was defined as moderate-intense physical activity of <150 minutes/week (including work). The primary outcome was the composite of 11 findings (5 symptoms and 6 signs) found in the medical assessment. We computed multivariate logistic regression models for both individual and pooled outcomes. Results: SL was found in 56.9% (IC95% 54.3-59.3) participants. In multivariate analysis SL was positively associated with single marital status and negatively associated with being employed. There were no significant associations between SL and the composite of 5 symptoms (Covariate-adjusted pooled OR 1.07, 95%CI 0.90-1.26), or 6 signs (Covariate-adjusted pooled OR 1.01, 95%CI 0.79-1.28). However, a positive non-significant gradient in association with the number of findings (Covariate-adjusted OR for any one clinical finding OR=0.91, 95%CI 0.61-1.35; any two findings OR=1.20, 95%CI 0.84 -1.73, or 3 or more findings OR=1.31, 95%CI 0.91-1.89) was observed. Conclusions: It was found that more than half of the studied population presented a sedentary lifestyle. Even though this factor was not associated with individual signs and symptoms, a nonsignificant gradient was found, possibly related to a short exposure that may explain these results.
