Abstract
Background

The World Health Report 2002 of the World Health Organization estimated that physical inactivity is one of the 10 main causes of morbidity and mortality and that the proportion of people whose health is at risk due to a sedentary lifestyle is approximately 60%.

Objective

To assess the relationship of physical activity level with cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome in 61 healthy men.

Methods

The short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) recommended by the World Health Organization was used as a valid measure to estimate two categories of physical activity, low (insufficient and sedentary) and vigorous (moderate and very active). Cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome were defined using the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program of the United States and the International Diabetes Federation respectively. Serum levels of C-reactive protein and ferritin were also measured, and insulin sensitivity was estimated using the Homeostatic Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).

Results

Mean population age was 47.1±6.9 years. Seventeen participants (28%) had metabolic syndrome. There were no differences between the categories of low and vigorous physical activity, nor a relationship with total physical activity (MET x week). No association was observed between low levels of physical activity and metabolic syndrome criteria.

Conclusions

The high prevalence of physical inactivity found in study participants using the IPAQ questionnaire was not associated with cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome.

Resumen
Fundamento

El Informe sobre la salud en el mundo 2002 de la Organización Mundial de la Salud estimó que el sedentarismo constituye una de las 10 causas fundamentales de morbimortalidad y que la proporción de la población cuya salud está en riesgo debido a una vida sedentaria se aproxima al 60%.

Objetivo

Evaluar la relación entre el nivel de actividad física (AF) con marcadores de riesgo cardiovascular y síndrome metabólico en 61 hombres aparentemente sanos.

Métodos

Se aplicó la versión corta del International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) para estimar la AF en dos categorías: baja actividad física (insuficiente y sedentario) y alta actividad física (moderado y muy activo). Los marcadores de riesgo cardiovascular y síndrome metabólico fueron definidos siguiendo los criterios del ATP-III y de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes, respectivamente. Se tomaron niveles séricos de proteína C reactiva, ferritina y se calculó la sensibilidad a insulina mediante el Homeostatic Model Assesment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-RI).

Resultados

El promedio de edad de la población fue 47,1±6,9 años. Diecisiete participantes (28%) presentaron síndrome metabólico. No se encontraron diferencias entre las categorías según el cuestionario IPAQ baja o vigorosa AF, ni relación con la AF total (MET x semana). Tampoco asociaciones entre bajo nivel de AF con los criterios de síndrome metabólico.

Conclusiones

Una alta prevalencia de sedentarismo se encontró en los participantes cuando se miden con el cuestionario IPAQ, aunque los niveles de AF no se asociaron con los marcadores de riesgo cardiovascular o síndrome metabólico.
