Abstract

Introduction: Sedentary behavior has been a matter of concern for researchers around the world, especially in Brazil. Objective: This study compared the moderate–vigorous physical activity and sedentary behavior between the years of two surveys (2008 and 2017), relating these behaviors to waist circumference. Methods: Cross sectional study, included 1783 students, both sexes, aged 10 to 17 years were considered:  2008 (n = 977) and 2017 (n = 806). The studies were carried out in public schools in the municipality of southern Brazil. The level of physical activity was assessed through an energy expenditure questionnaire. The waist circumference was considered high ≥75th percentile for age and sex. The students were grouped according to the levels of moderate–vigorous physical activity. Sitting time was used as a proxy of sedentary behavior. Results: The proportion of active boys in 2008 (62.2%) was higher than in 2017 (34.1%; p <0.001) while the frequency of abdominal obesity was higher in 2017 (boys 36.3%, girls 25.5%) than in 2008 (15.7% and 10.5%; p <0.001, respectively). In 2017, there was a 2.8 times increased prevalence risk of increased WC compared to 2008(p <0.001), which was directly related to 16.5 times increase in the risk of elevated sedentary behavior (p <0.001) and two times increase who practice moderate–vigorous physical activity <60min/day (p <0.001). Conclusion: The risk of abdominal obesity increased during the last decade in both sexes, which appears to be mainly due to the sedentary behavior, in addition to the lower level of moderate–vigorous physical activity in boys.
