Abstract

Obesity is a growing global health problem and is associated with several comorbidities. Sedentary behaviors and physical inactivity are considered harmful to health. Energy expenditure d1,5 in Metabolic Equivalent of Task and adoption of sitting and lying positions characterize sedentary behavior. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the association between obesity and the amount of sedentary behavior in adults. The study will be conducted with 150 participants matched for age, sex and cardiovascular risk factors, divided into five groups according to the percentage of body fat obtained by bioelectrical impedance. The analysis of sedentary behavior will be held from triaxial accelerometry data. The data will be analyzed descriptively. Continuous variables were compared between groups using ANOVA to obesity level and sex. Categorical variables were compared using the Dz test. (AU)
