| ABSTRACT |
|
Little information is available regarding the relationships of daily physical activity(PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness(CRF) with metabolic risk factors in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between PA and CRF and metabolic syndrome(MS) in young Korean men. In a cross-sectional study, we examined 1020 young Korean men (696 men, mean age 23.9±2.4 years old and 324 women, mean age 21.5±1.9 years old) who were healthy and not taking any medications affecting blood pressure, glucose, or lipids concentrations. PA was measured using the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). CRF was measured during a graded treadmill test. Group analyses showed significant and inverse dose-response trends between the metabolic syndrome markers and PA and CRF levels such that men with high and moderate PA and CRF levels had more favorable profiles in body fatness, resting blood pressures, mean values in fasting lipids, glucose, and insulin, and homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance than men with low PA and CRF level. Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that body fatness, PA, and CRF were independent predictors for clustering of metabolic risk factors in men, while body fatness was an independent predictor for clustering of metabolic risk factors in women. In conclusion, the findings of the current study suggest that behavioral and modifiable factors including body fatness, PA, and CRF play critical roles for clustering of metabolic risk factors and its related metabolic diseases in apparently healthy and young adults. |
