BMJ Open Jan 31, 2020
Delfino LD, Tebar WR, Gil1 FC, et al. - Experts conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the correlation of sedentary behaviour patterns with dietary and lifestyle habits among public school teachers. They randomized a sample of 245 teachers (186 women and 59 men) with a mean age of 45.2 (±10.4) from public schools. They measured sedentary behaviour by hours spent watching television, computer and cellphone/tablet use and in sitting position. They recorded sedentary breaks on a Likert scale in domains of work and leisure time. They analyzed dietary habits by weekly consumption of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, fried foods, sweets, grains, cereals, white meat, soft drinks and snacks. They further examined physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and socioeconomic status were assessed by using questionnaires. The results showed that high sedentary breaks were correlated with better dietary habits and with high levels of physical activity among public school teachers, even those with high sedentary behaviour.
