The Global Prevalence of Sedentary Time in Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Background: We aimed to determine the prevalence of sedentary time in diabetes and metabolic syndrome worldwide via a systematic review and meta-analysis study.
Methods: This study was conducted using the systematic review method following PRISMA 2020 criteria. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from January 2000 to December 2022. The heterogeneity of studies was measured using the I2 test.
Results: The prevalence of sedentary time in diabetic patients was 52.3% (CI 95 %:46.2-58.2) and the prevalence of sedentary time in metabolic syndrome was 43.3% (95% CI: 31- 56.5).  Also, the results of subgroup analysis show that the prevalence of inactivity in diabetic women was 60.3% higher than that of diabetic men. The prevalence of inactivity in patients with metabolic syndrome was 28.6% in men and women, respectively.
Conclusion: Sedentary time has a very high prevalence in metabolic syndrome and diabetic patients. In other words, almost half of these patients experience their life patterns. Therefore, effective and efficient efforts to improve activity and exercise in patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome will have a more effective therapeutic effect and improve their quality of life.
