Abstract

Background/objectives: Sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) are key determinants of health in occupational settings. This study aimed to analyze the levels of SB, PA, and their associations with health outcomes among Chilean workers using data from the National Health Survey-2017.

Methods: A secondary analysis of 2042 workers aged ≥18 years was conducted. Occupations were classified using ISCO-08, and SB/PA were assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Health outcomes included musculoskeletal symptoms, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular risk.

Results: Of the participants, 49.8% were women, and the mean age was 45 years (±13.7). The median SB was 120 min/day, with 32.6% accumulating ≥4 h/day. "Managers" exhibited the highest SB (median: 270 min/day). The median total PA was 123 min/day, and "Skilled agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers" reported the highest PA (median: 330 min/day). The SB (≥4 h/day) was significantly associated with musculoskeletal symptoms (OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.21-2.14) and hypertension (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.07-2.18). PA showed no significant protective effect.

Conclusions: SB and PA vary significantly across occupational groups. SB is associated with musculoskeletal symptoms. Health promotion programs should be tailored to specific occupational groups.

根据2017年全国健康调查，智利工人的久坐行为、身体活动和健康。

背景/目的：久坐行为（SB）和身体活动（PA）是职业环境中健康的关键决定因素。本研究旨在利用2017年国家健康调查的数据分析智利工人中SB、PA的水平及其与健康结果的关系。方法：对2042名年龄≥18岁的工人进行二次分析。使用ISCO-08对职业进行分类，使用全球身体活动问卷（GPAQ）对SB/PA进行评估。健康结果包括肌肉骨骼症状、高血压、糖尿病、代谢综合征和心血管风险。结果：女性占49.8%，平均年龄45岁（±13.7岁）。中位SB为120 min/day，其中32.6%累积≥4 h/day。“管理者”表现出最高的SB（中位数：270分钟/天）。总PA的中位数为123分钟/天，“熟练的农业、林业和渔业工人”报告的PA最高（中位数：330分钟/天）。SB（≥4 h/天）与肌肉骨骼症状（OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.21-2.14）和高血压（OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.07-2.18）显著相关。PA无明显保护作用。结论：不同职业群体的SB和PA差异显著。SB与肌肉骨骼症状有关。健康促进计划应该针对特定的职业群体。
