Role of Sedentary Behavior as a Risk Factor for Hypertension and Obesity
Main Article Content
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that sedentary activity is closely related to an increased risk of hypertension and obesity. However, to understand the relationship between sedentary activity, hypertension, and obesity more deeply, this study involves further analysis. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sedentary activity and the risk of hypertension and obesity. This research is a quantitative study using an observational design, through a prospective cohort approach. Sedentary activity was measured using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ). The correlation between sedentary activity and the risk of hypertension and obesity was analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation method. Sedentary activity becomes a risk factor for hypertension and obesity with a moderate correlation level (r=0.416). High levels of sedentary activity significantly increase the risk of hypertension. This study confirms the significant relationship between sedentary activity and the risk of hypertension and obesity. High levels of sedentary activity increase the risk of hypertension significantly. Therefore, it is recommended to encourage an active lifestyle and reduce sedentary activity to prevent hypertension and obesity.
