目的-我们研究了一个有代表性的加勒比裔西班牙裔老年人居住在马萨诸塞州的样本之间的代谢综合征的电视观看和患病率之间的关联。研究设计和方法-我们进行了一个横断面分析350波多黎各和105多米尼加老人（60岁）。通过问卷调查收集了有关电视观看时间的信息。代谢综合征的定义使用的定义从国家胆固醇教育Program.Results -波多黎各人和多米尼加人，分别为50.1和56.9%的代谢综合征的患病率。82.6%的受试者有高血压，61.4%的受试者有高空腹血糖。该综合征的患病率与看电视显著相关。在调整年龄、性别、种族、BMI、教育、饮酒、吸烟、家庭安排、体育活动、能量和脂肪摄入以及日常生活活动评分后，每增加一小时的电视观看时间，患代谢综合征的可能性增加19%（比值比[OR] 1.19，95%CI 1.1-1.3，趋势P 0.002）。我们没有观察到显着的相互作用，看电视与性别，吸烟状况，饮酒，或BMI（P为互动> 0.15的所有）在有关存在的代谢syndrome.CONCLUSIONS -一个高患病率的代谢综合征在一个有代表性的样本加勒比裔西班牙裔老年人与长时间看电视，独立的体力活动和能量摄入。需要进行纵向研究来阐明这种关系的因果关系。
OBJECTIVE - We examined associations between television viewing and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among a representative sample of Caribbean-origin Hispanic elders living in Massachusetts.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 350 Puerto Rican and 105 Dominican elders ( 60 years). Information on television viewing hours was collected by a questionnaire. The metabolic syndrome was defined by using the definition from the National Cholesterol Education Program.RESULTS - Prevalences for the metabolic syndrome were 50.1 and 56.9% among Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, respectively. Of the subjects, 82.6% had high blood pressure and 61.4% had high fasting glucose. Prevalence of the syndrome was significantly associated with television viewing. Each additional hour of television viewing was associated with a 19% greater likelihood of having the metabolic syndrome (odds ratio [OR] 1.19, 95% CI 1.1-1.3, P for trend 0.002), after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI, education, alcohol use, smoking, household arrangement, physical activity, intake of energy and fat, and activities-of-daily-living score. We did not observe significant interactions of television viewing with sex, smoking status, alcohol use, or BMI (P for interaction > 0.15 for all) in relation to presence of the metabolic syndrome.CONCLUSIONS - A high prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in a representative sample of Caribbean-origin Hispanic elders was associated with prolonged television viewing, independent of physical activity and energy intake. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the causality of this relationship.
