Screen-Based Sedentary Behaviors and Their Association With Metabolic Syndrome Components Among Adults in Mexico

PEER REVIEWED

Panel A shows that for men who slept 7 to 9 hours per day and for men who slept more than 9 hours per day, for every hour in screen-based sedentary time, the probability of having metabolic syndrome increased similarly. Panels B, C, and D show that for women who slept longer than 9 hours per day, for every hour in screen-based sedentary time the probability of having metabolic syndrome and hyperglycemia increased, and the probability of having hypertension decreased.

This graph shows that for every hour in screen-based sedentary time, the probability for women of having abdominal obesity remained steady at about 0.9 for active behavior, although it increased rapidly from 0.75 to 1.0 for inactive behavior.
