OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between a sedentary lifestyle with different cardiovascular risk factors in apparently healthy adults. DESIGN: descriptive study in 147 adults. Mean age (38 ± 2.5 years). We estimated the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors by gender, and the association between sedentary lifestyle and glucose blood levels, and increased lipids, overall obesity (as measured by body mass index) and central obesity (measured by waist circumference) in the general population.
