LS was evaluated using the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25); a GLFS-25 score \u22657 was defined as LS. Weekly PA was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Work-related PA (time spent sitting, standing, walking, and strenuous work per day) and sedentary breaks were measured using a Work-related Physical Activity Questionnaire. Screen usage (television [TV], smartphones, tablets, and personal computers) during leisure time was recorded. The association between PA and LS was examined using a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, history of musculoskeletal disorders, cancer, stroke, occupation, employment type, work time, shift system, employment status, and body pain.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: A total of 149 participants had LS. Fewer sedentary breaks during work (&amp;gt;70-minute intervals, odds ratio [OR] = 2.96; prolonged sitting, OR = 4.12) and longer TV viewing time (\u2265180\u00a0minutes, OR = 3.02) were significantly associated with LS. In contrast, moderate PA (OR = 0.75) was significantly associated with a lower risk of LS.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: Fewer sedentary breaks during work and longer TV viewing time could increase the risk of LS in young and middle-aged Japanese workers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/joccuh\/uiae001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]],"date-time":"2024-01-09T08:00:49Z","timestamp":1704787249000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Relationship between physical activity and locomotive syndrome among young and middle-aged Japanese workers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5132-4679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kazuhiko","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kumamoto University Department of Public Health, Faculty of Life Sciences, , Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan"},{"name":"Kumamoto University Hospital Division of Rehabilitation Technology, Department of Medical Technology, , Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kumamoto University Department of Public Health, Faculty of Life Sciences, , Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shota","family":"Masuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kumamoto University Department of Public Health, Faculty of Life Sciences, , Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Miyamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kumamoto University Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Life Sciences, , Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiko","family":"Katoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kumamoto University Department of Public Health, Faculty of Life Sciences, , Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024071808423786800_ref1","volume-title":"Annual Report on the Ageing Society (Summary)","author":"Cabinet Office, Tokyo (Japan)"},{"key":"2024071808423786800_ref2","volume-title":"Health and Welfare Services for the Elderly","author":"Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Tokyo (Japan)","year":"2021"},{"key":"2024071808423786800_ref3","volume-title":"The Outline of the Results of National Livelihood Survey","author":"Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Tokyo (Japan)","year":"2022"},{"key":"2024071808423786800_ref4","volume-title":"Act on Stabilization of Employment of Elderly Persons (Act No. 68 of May 25, 1971);
