Educational level is a primary driver of health disparities and is demonstrated to be a reliable measure of socioeconomic position. We aimed to examine the associations between educational level and self-reported along with device-measured SB in older adults living in Europe and the association of mentally active and passive SB domains with the educational level and gender in these associations. Methods: The design is cross-sectional. One thousand three hundred and sixty participants aged 65 and over (75.3±6.3 years old, 61.8% women) participated. Inclusion criteria were scored with the Short Physical Performance Battery. Variables that describe the sample were assessed with an interview, and device-measured SB was assessed with an accelerometer. SB was assessed with the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire and an accelerometer. Multiple linear regression models were used to study the association between the level of education and SB. Results: Participants self-reported an average of 7.82 (SD: 3.02) daily waking hours of SB during weekend days, and the average of device-measured SB was 11.39 (1.23) h. Total mentally active SB (weekdays and weekends) was associated with the education level (p < 0.000). Participants were more sedentary during the week than during weekends, regardless of level of education (p < 0.000). Education level was significantly associated with self-reported mean hours per day in 46SB (p = 0.000; R=0.026; 95%CI). Conclusion: Low education level in older adults is associated with self-reported SB but not with objective SB measures. 000131859 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000131859 590__ $$a3.0$$b2023 000131859 592__ $$a0.895$$b2023 000131859 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b115 / 408 = 0.282$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT1 000131859 593__ $$aPublic Health, Environmental and Occupational Health$$c2023$$dQ1 000131859 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b115 / 408 = 0.282$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT1 000131859 594__ $$a4.8$$b2023 000131859 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000131859 700__ $$aTully, Mark A. 000131859 700__ $$aSansano-Nadal, Oriol 000131859 700__ $$aCaserotti, Paolo 000131859 700__ $$aColl-Planas, Laura 000131859 700__ $$aRoqué, Marta 000131859 700__ $$aBrønd, Jan 000131859 700__ $$aBlackburn, Nicole E. 000131859 700__ $$aWilson, Jason J. 000131859 700__ $$aRothenbacher, Dietrich 000131859 700__ $$aMcIntosh, Emma 000131859 700__ $$aDeidda, Manuela 000131859 700__ $$aAndrade-Gómez, Elena 000131859 700__ $$aGiné-Garriga, Maria 000131859 7102_ $$11006$$2255$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
