Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify socio-demographic correlates of total and domain-specific sedentary behavior (SB). Methods: Cross-sectional findings are based on 9218 participants (15–65 years) from the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health. Data were collected between September 2014 and February 2015. Participants reported time spent in SB across specific domains. Sex, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic (SEL), and education level were used as sociodemographic indicators. Results: Participants spent a total of 373.3 min/day engaged in total SB. Men, younger adults, other ethnicities, higher SEL and educational level presented higher total SB when compared with women, older adults, white/Caucasian, and low SEL and educational level. Men spent more time on the playing videogames (b: 32.8: 95% CI: 14.6;51.1) and riding in an automobile (40.5: 31.3; 49.8). Computer time, reading, socializing or listening to music was higher in younger participants (<30 years) compared with those ≥50 years in the total sample. Compared to the low SEL and educational level groups, middle (11.7: 5.7; 17.6) and higher (15.1: 5.3; 24.9) SEL groups as well as middle (9.8: 3.6; 15.9) and higher (16.6: 6.5; 26.8) education level groups reported more time spent reading. Conclusion: Socio-demographic characteristics are associated with SB patterns (total and specific) across Latin American countries.

拉丁美洲总体和特定领域久坐行为的社会人口统计相关性：基于人口的研究。

目的：本研究的目的是确定总体和特定领域久坐行为（SB）的社会人口统计学相关性。方法：横断面检查结果基于来自拉丁美洲营养与健康研究的9218名参与者（15-65岁）。数据是在2014年9月至2015年2月之间收集的。参与者报告了跨特定领域在SB上花费的时间。性别，年龄，种族，社会经济（SEL）和受教育程度被用作社会人口统计学指标。结果：参与者总共花费了373.3分钟/天来参与总SB。与女性，老年人，白人/高加索人相比，男性，年轻人，其他种族，较高的SEL和教育水平表示较高的总SB，而SEL和教育水平较低。男人花更多的时间在玩电子游戏上（b：32.8：95％CI：14.6; 51.1）并乘坐汽车（40.5：31.3； 49.8）。在年轻参与者（<30岁）中，计算机时间，阅读，社交或听音乐的时间高于总样本中≥50岁的人。与低SEL和教育程度的组相比，中等（11.7：5.7; 17.6）和更高（15.1：5.3; 24.9）SEL组以及中等（9.8：3.6; 15.9）和更高（16.6：6.5; 26.8）的SEL组各个级别的小组报告称，阅读所花的时间更多。结论：社会人口学特征与拉丁美洲国家的SB模式（总体和特定）相关。
