Many different factors influenced food habits and physical activity patterns of adolescents in a complex interactive way. The aim of this study was to assess association between sedentary behaviour and socioeconomic factors, diet and lifestyle among the Balearic Islands adolescents.
A cross-sectional survey (n = 1961; 12-17 years old) was carried out. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for adolescents (IPAQ-A). Sedentary behaviour was defined as <300 min/week of moderate and vigorous physical activity. Anthropometric measurements, body image, socio-economic and lifestyle determinants, food consumption, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet were assessed.
The prevalence of sedentary behaviour was 37.1% (22.0% boys, 50.8% girls). Active boys consumed frequently breakfast cereals and fresh fruit; active girls yogurt, cheese, breakfast cereals, and fresh fruit; and sedentary girls high fat foods and soft drinks. Sedentary behaviour of girls was directly associated to age, and time spent on media screen and homework, and inversely related to adherence to Mediterranean diet, and body composition. Sedentary behaviour of boys was inversely related to adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and the desire to remain the same weight.
The prevalence of sedentary behaviour among Balearic Islands adolescents is high, mainly among girls. Age, sex, parental educational and profession levels, body size dissatisfaction, and poor quality diet are important factors of physical activity practice among adolescents.
许多不同的因素以复杂的交互方式影响青少年的饮食习惯和身体活动模式。本研究旨在评估巴利阿里群岛青少年久坐行为与社会经济因素、饮食和生活方式之间的关系。
进行了一项横断面调查（n=1961；12-17 岁）。使用青少年国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ-A）评估身体活动。久坐行为定义为每周中高强度体力活动<300 分钟。评估了人体测量学测量、身体形象、社会经济和生活方式决定因素、食物消费以及对地中海饮食的依从性。
久坐行为的患病率为 37.1%（男孩 22.0%，女孩 50.8%）。活跃的男孩经常食用早餐麦片和新鲜水果；活跃的女孩食用酸奶、奶酪、早餐麦片和新鲜水果；而久坐的女孩则食用高脂肪食物和软饮料。女孩的久坐行为与年龄、花在媒体屏幕和家庭作业上的时间直接相关，与对地中海饮食的依从性和身体成分呈负相关。男孩的久坐行为与对地中海饮食的依从性以及保持体重的愿望呈负相关。
巴利阿里群岛青少年久坐行为的患病率很高，主要发生在女孩中。年龄、性别、父母教育和职业水平、身体大小不满以及不良饮食质量是青少年身体活动实践的重要因素。
