| 实物特征: | The objectives of this study are to describe physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) in adults with the sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) in Puerto Rico, to explore possible sex-based differences, and to evaluate the link between PA, ST, anthropometric characteristics and pulmonary function. Fifteen adults (10 M and 5 F, with average age 44.3 9.4 years) with an SAHS diagnosis completed the measurements of height, weight and spirometry, and used an accelerometer for 7 days in order to assess PA and ST. The Wilcoxon test was used for identifying sex-based differences, and Spearman correlation tests were carried out in order to evaluate the association between PA, ST and anthropometric and lung function characteristics. The results indicate that the average of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) was 276.8 196.3 min/week, ST was 8.8 1.3 hrs/day, IMC was 34.7 5.9 kg/m2, waist circumference (WC) was 109.5 15.8 cm, and the percentage of prediction of forced exhalation volume in one second related to forced vital capacity (%FEV1/FVC) was 107.4 7.8%. No sex-based differences were observed, nor significant correlations between MVPA and IMC (ρ = -0.39, p = 0.15), MVPA and WC (ρ = -0.12, p = .07), ST and IMC (ρ = 0.05, p = .86) or ST and WC (ρ = -0.03, p = .92). The MVPA was correlated to %FEV1/FVC (ρ = 0.60, p = .02). The conclusion is that, even though MVPA was within the recommended minimum, obesity and ST were concerning characteristics in participants. In addition, the results suggest that those with higher MVPA have a better pulmonary function. |
