背景人们对低体力活动在工作中的作用知之甚少（久坐不动的工作或低体力工作需求）在美国工人肥胖患病率增加中的作用。（年龄范围：32-69），来自美国中年发展全国调查（MID US）II研究（2004-2006）。久坐不动的工作和体力劳动需求的问卷调查项目。完全肥胖（基于体重指数）和中心性肥胖结果在控制了协变量（社会人口统计学、心理社会工作条件、健康状况和健康行为）后，久坐不动的工作、低体力劳动要求或两者的结合增加了男性工人总体和中心性肥胖的风险，特别是当他们每周工作时间超过40 h时。久坐不动的工作轻微增加的风险，总和中心性肥胖的女性workers.Conclusions低体力活动在工作中是一个显着的危险因素，总和中心性肥胖的中年男性工人。Am.

Background Little is known about the role of low physical activity at work (sedentary work or low physical job demand) in the increasing prevalence of obesity of US workers.Methods This cross-sectional and secondary data analysis included 1,001 male and 1,018 female workers (age range: 32-69) from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MID US) II study (2004-2006). Sedentary work and physical job demand were measured by questionnaire items. Total obesity (based on body mass index) and central obesity (based on waist circumference) were defined using WHO criteria.Results After controlling for covariates (socio-demographic, psychosocial working conditions, health status, and health behaviors), sedentary work, low physical job demand, or their combination increased the risk for total and central obesity in male workers, particularly when they worked longer than 40 hr per week. Sedentary work marginally increased the risk for total and central obesity in female workers.Conclusions Low physical activity at work is a significant risk factor for total and central obesity in middle-aged US male workers.
