Cardiovascular disease and cancer have increased the risk of mortality and morbidity in elderly persons worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of sedentary behavior and self-rated health with cardiovascular disease or cancer in elderly people. The data of 6785 elderly persons aged above 65 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014-2018 were examined. Binary logistic regression analyses assessed the association of sedentary behavior, self-rated health, and other risk factors with cardiovascular disease or cancer. Prolonged sedentary behavior in elderly people was associated with a high risk for cardiovascular disease (odds ratio (OR): 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-1.52). There was a high risk for cardiovascular disease (OR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.85-3.01) or cancer (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.17-1.88) in elderly people who had poor self-rated health. This study identified the association between prolonged sedentary behavior and cardiovascular disease, and between poor self-rated health and cancer. Since prolonged sedentary behavior is related to cardiovascular disease, efforts are needed to reduce sedentary behavior hours and maintain good self-rated health.
心血管疾病和癌症增加了全球老年人的死亡率和发病率。本研究旨在探讨老年人久坐行为和自我报告健康状况与心血管疾病或癌症之间的关系。本研究分析了 2014-2018 年韩国国家健康和营养检查调查的 6785 名 65 岁以上老年人的数据。采用二元逻辑回归分析评估久坐行为、自我报告健康状况和其他风险因素与心血管疾病或癌症之间的关系。老年人久坐时间过长与心血管疾病风险增加相关（比值比[OR]：1.28，95%置信区间[CI]：1.08-1.52）。自我报告健康状况差的老年人患心血管疾病（OR：2.36，95%CI：1.85-3.01）或癌症（OR：1.48，95%CI：1.17-1.88）的风险较高。本研究确定了久坐行为与心血管疾病之间的关系，以及自我报告健康状况与癌症之间的关系。由于久坐行为与心血管疾病有关，因此需要努力减少久坐时间并保持良好的自我报告健康状况。
