This study examined the relationship between sitting time and the prevalence of carotid and femoral subclinical atherosclerosis. A cross-sectional analysis based on a subsample of 2082 participants belonging to the Aragon Workers’ Health Study was carried out. Ultrasonography was used to assess the presence of plaques in carotid and femoral territories; the validated Spanish version of the questionnaire on the frequency of engaging in physical activity used in the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals’ was used to assess physical activity and sitting time; and demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data were obtained by trained personnel during the annual medical examination. Participants were categorized into <9 h/day and ≥9 h/day sitting time groups. After adjusting for several confounders, compared with participants that remain seated <9 h/day, those participants who remain seated ≥9 h/day had, respectively, OR = 1.25 (95%CI: 1.01, 1.55, p < 0.05) and OR = 1.38 (95%CI: 1.09, 1.74, p < 0.05) for carotid and any-territory plaque presence. Remaining seated ≥9 h/day is associated with higher odds for carotid and any-territory plaque presence independently of physical activity levels and other cardiovascular risk factors. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI18-01929 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI19-00948 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MECD/FPU16-02539 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.964 2021 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL 55 / 172 = 0.32 2021 Q2 T1 1.04 2021 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 4.4 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Laclaustra, Martin Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3963-0846 Guallar Castillón, Pilar Casasnovas, Jose Antonio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9887-2629 Casajus, Jose Antonio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7215-6931 Jarauta, Estibaliz Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9142-0737 Gonzalez Agüero, Alejandro Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1132-5906 Moreno Franco, Belén Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0604-5042 1006 245 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
