Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) and locomotive syndrome (LS) among young and middle-aged Japanese workers.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 335 participants from a company in Kumamoto, Japan. LS was evaluated using the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25); a GLFS-25 score ≥7 was defined as LS. Weekly PA was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Work-related PA (time spent sitting, standing, walking, and strenuous work per day) and sedentary breaks were measured using a Work-related Physical Activity Questionnaire. Screen usage (television [TV], smartphones, tablets, and personal computers) during leisure time was recorded. The association between PA and LS was examined using a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, history of musculoskeletal disorders, cancer, stroke, occupation, employment type, work time, shift system, employment status, and body pain.

Results: A total of 149 participants had LS. Fewer sedentary breaks during work (>70-minute intervals, odds ratio [OR] = 2.96; prolonged sitting, OR = 4.12) and longer TV viewing time (≥180 minutes, OR = 3.02) were significantly associated with LS. In contrast, moderate PA (OR = 0.75) was significantly associated with a lower risk of LS.

Conclusions: Fewer sedentary breaks during work and longer TV viewing time could increase the risk of LS in young and middle-aged Japanese workers.

日本中青年工人的体力活动与运动综合征之间的关系。

研究目的本研究旨在探讨日本中青年工人的体力活动（PA）与运动综合征（LS）之间的关系：这项横断面研究包括来自日本熊本一家公司的 335 名参与者。LS采用25个问题的老年运动机能量表（GLFS-25）进行评估；GLFS-25得分≥7分为LS。每周体育锻炼采用国际体育锻炼问卷进行测量。与工作相关的体力活动（每天坐、站、走和剧烈工作所花费的时间）和久坐休息时间使用与工作相关的体力活动问卷进行测量。对闲暇时间使用屏幕（电视、智能手机、平板电脑和个人电脑）的情况进行了记录。采用多变量逻辑回归分析法研究了 PA 与 LS 之间的关系，并对年龄、性别、体重指数、肌肉骨骼疾病史、癌症、中风、职业、就业类型、工作时间、轮班制度、就业状况和身体疼痛进行了调整：共有 149 名参与者患有腰椎间盘突出症。工作期间较少的久坐休息时间（间隔时间大于 70 分钟[比值比{OR}：2.96]；久坐[比值比：4.12]）和较长的电视观看时间（≥ 180 分钟[比值比：3.02]）与 LS 显著相关。相比之下，适度的活动量（OR：0.75）与较低的LS风险明显相关：结论：工作期间较少的久坐休息时间和较长的看电视时间可能会增加日本中青年工人罹患LS的风险。

期刊介绍： The scope of the journal is broad, covering toxicology, ergonomics, psychosocial factors and other relevant health issues of workers, with special emphasis on the current developments in occupational health. The JOH also accepts various methodologies that are relevant to investigation of occupational health risk factors and exposures, such as large-scale epidemiological studies, human studies employing biological techniques and fundamental experiments on animals, and also welcomes submissions concerning occupational health practices and related issues.
