Background There is lack of information on the correlates of sedentary behaviour among persons with alcohol use disorders. The study aimed to examine socio-demographic and health correlates among adolescents and adults with hazardous, harmful or probable dependent alcohol use (= problem drinking). Method Data from the cross-sectional South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES-1) 2011–12 were analysed. From a total sample of 15 085 persons aged 15 years and older, 2849 adolescents and adults (mean age = 37.1 years, standard deviation [s.d.] = 15.1) were identified as problem drinkers, based on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C). Multivariable logistic and linear regression were used to determine the associations between socio-demographic characteristics, health variables and high sedentary behaviour (≥8 h/day) and total minutes of sedentary behaviour a day. Results The prevalence of high sedentary behaviour (≥ 8 h/day) was 11.9% overall (11.9% among men and 12.1% among women), and the mean (s.d.) duration of sedentary behaviour was 263 (169) min/day. In bivariate analysis, older age, population group, functional disability, cognitive impairment, having hypertension, having had a stroke and posttraumatic symptoms were correlated with high sedentary behaviour. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, older age and being Indian or Asian were positively, and having been diagnosed with angina was negatively, associated with high sedentary behaviour. In linear regression analysis, older age, not employed and having had a stroke were positively, and being of mixed race and having angina were negatively, associated with total minutes (up to 960 min/day) of sedentary behaviour in a day. Conclusion The study provides socio-demographic and health correlates of sedentary behaviour among problem drinkers. This information can guide possible future interventions in reducing sedentary behaviour among problem drinkers.

南非青少年和成年人的久坐行为与危险、有害或依赖饮酒的相关性。

背景 缺乏关于酒精使用障碍患者久坐行为相关性的信息。该研究旨在检查青少年和成年人与危险、有害或可能依赖酒精使用（= 饮酒问题）的社会人口和健康相关性。方法分析了 2011-12 年南非国家健康和营养调查 (SANHANES-1) 的横断面数据。从 15 085 名 15 岁及以上的总样本中，2849 名青少年和成年人（平均年龄 = 37.1 岁，标准差 [sd] = 15.1）被确定为问题饮酒者，基于酒精使用障碍识别测试 - 消费（审计-C)。多变量逻辑和线性回归用于确定社会人口特征之间的关联，健康变量和高久坐行为（≥8 小时/天）和每天久坐行为的总分钟数。结果 久坐行为（≥ 8 小时/天）的总体发生率为 11.9%（男性为 11.9%，女性为 12.1%），久坐行为的平均 (sd) 持续时间为 263 (169) 分钟/天。在双变量分析中，年龄较大、人群、功能障碍、认​​知障碍、高血压、中风和创伤后症状与久坐行为相关。在调整后的逻辑回归分析中，年龄较大、印度人或亚洲人为阳性，被诊断患有心绞痛为阴性，与久坐行为相关。在线性回归分析中，年龄较大、未就业和中风为阳性，混血和心绞痛为阴性，与一天中久坐行为的总分钟数（最多 960 分钟/天）相关。结论 该研究提供了问题饮酒者久坐行为的社会人口统计学和健康相关性。这些信息可以指导未来可能的干预措施，以减少问题饮酒者的久坐行为。
