This study aimed to identify the association between sitting time and orthopedic conditions in Korean older adults. Data from adults aged ≥65 years from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014-2015) were used for analysis (n = 3,011). Sitting time ≥7.5 h/day was significantly associated with knee joint (OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.79), hip joint (OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.17, 2.03), and low back pain (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.74) when adjusted for sex, age, obesity, housing type, family income, education, and marital status in multiple logistic regression analyses. These findings imply that appropriate pain management according to sociodemographic characteristics in orthopedic conditions are necessary to reduce excessive sitting time in Korean older adults.
本研究旨在探讨韩国老年人久坐时间与骨科疾病之间的关系。本研究使用了 2014-2015 年韩国第六次全国健康和营养调查(Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,KNHANES)中≥65 岁成年人的数据进行分析(n=3011)。多因素逻辑回归分析结果显示,与每天坐≥7.5 小时的人群相比,每天坐≤3 小时的人群膝关节(OR=0.66,95%CI:0.52, 0.84)、髋关节(OR=0.64,95%CI:0.50, 0.82)和腰痛(OR=0.63,95%CI:0.49, 0.81)的患病风险显著降低。
该研究结果提示,针对韩国老年人骨科疾病的社会人口学特征,进行适当的疼痛管理,可能有助于减少其久坐时间。
