Sedentary Behavior and Phase Angle: An Objective Assessment in Physically Active and Inactive Older Adults
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations of the objectively assessed total sedentary behavior (SB) amount and SB patterns with phase angle (PhA) in older populations and to conduct a comparison analysis for those who are physically active (meet 150 min/week) and inactive...

| description | The purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations of the objectively assessed total sedentary behavior (SB) amount and SB patterns with phase angle (PhA) in older populations and to conduct a comparison analysis for those who are physically active (meet 150 min/week) and inactive (less than 150 min/week). During May to August 2023, a convenience sampling was used to recruit older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) living in a community in Taiwan. The total SB amount (minutes/day), SB patterns (including SB bouts and breaks), and physical activity were assessed by a triaxial accelerometer. A multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) was used to measure PhA. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between SB and PhA in the total number of participants and stratified in the physically active and inactive groups. For the whole sample (n = 166; mean age: 72.1 ± 5.5 years), the total SB amount and patterns of SB were not associated with PhA. For those physically active, the total SB amount and SB patterns were not associated with PhA. Among those physically inactive, the total SB amount was negatively related to PhA (B: −0.059, 95% CI: −0.118, 0.000). This study underscores the importance of minimizing the total SB amount in physically inactive older adults, providing evidence for future interventions targeting SB and PhA in this population. |
