Article Synopsis
- The study focused on public school teachers and examined the link between sedentary behavior, its breaks, obesity, and cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of 245 teachers.
- Results showed that 55.3% of teachers exhibited high sedentary behavior, which was significantly linked to abdominal obesity but not to other cardiovascular risk factors.
- Conversely, teachers who took more breaks from sedentary activities during leisure time were less likely to have high blood pressure, indicating a potential protective effect.
Objectives: To analyse the association of sedentary behaviour patterns with dietary and lifestyle habits among public school teachers.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: A sample of 245 teachers (186 women and 59 men) with mean age of 45.
