Surveillance of physical activity (PA) is essential for the development health promotion initiatives. The aim present study was to examine prevalence PA and sedentary behaviour with respect socio-demographic factors in Chile.A representative sample 5434 adults aged ≥15 years (59% women) who participated Chilean National Health Survey (2009-2010) were included. Socio-demographic data (age, sex, environment, education level, income level smoking status) collected all participants. levels...
Handgrip strength (HGS) is a well-established indicator of muscle and can help to identify risk sarcopenic obesity in children. This study explores the relationship between adiposity muscular healthy Chilean adolescents. Adolescents (n = 491) aged 10–17 were selected from five schools Santiago, Chile. HGS was determined by dynamometry. Anthropometry (weight, height, waist mid arm circumference), physical activity socioeconomic status also measured. Relative (RHGS) calculated dividing maximum...
Increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF), defined by the NOVA classification, has been associated with obesity and other health outcomes. However, some authors have criticized UPF definition because it is somewhat subjective. Most studies identify using food descriptions; nevertheless, developers described a list ingredients, including substances not commonly used for cooking "cosmetic additives" that could be to UPF. Assessing impact use different definitions particularly...

Material and Methods: We included 5,040 participants from the Chilean National Health Survey 2009-2010. Physical activity level sedentary behavior (sitting time) were measured using Global Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ v2). Highly behaviors determined as > 4 hours per day of sitting time. Logistic regression was used to identify correlates highly behavior.
