Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous research demonstrates individual associations of sedentary behaviour, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and cardiorespiratory fitness on systemic inflammation, often assessed via C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Their potential additive association on CRP, however, has not been fully evaluated, which was the purpose of this study. METHODS: Data from the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used (N = 627 adults 20-49 years). Sedentary behaviour and MVPA were objectively assessed (accelerometry) with cardiorespiratory fitness determined from a submaximal treadmill-based test. Participants were classified as above or below the median values for each of these three parameters, with a PACS (Physical Activity Cardiorespiratory Sedentary) score ranging from 0 to 3, indicating the participant number of these three positive characteristics. A blood sample was obtained from each participant to assess CRP via latex-enhanced nephelometry. RESULTS: Above median sedentary behaviour (OR = 1·04; 95% CI: 0·65-1·66) was not associated with elevated (>0·3 mg dl-1 ) CRP, but above median MVPA (OR = 0·62; 95% CI: 0·40-0·97) and above median VO2max (OR = 0·61; 95% CI: 0·40-0·93) were associated with a reduced odds of having an elevated CRP. With regard to the additive model, and after adjustment, the odds ratios (95% CI) for the PACS score of 1 (versus 0), 2 (versus 0) and 3 (versus 0), respectively, were 0·59 (0·34-1·05; P = 0·07), 0·60 (0·31-1·15; P = 0·11) and 0·34 (0·12-0·97; P = 0·04). CONCLUSION: Cardiorespiratory fitness and MVPA, but not sedentary behaviour, were independently associated with reduced odds of elevated CRP. Adults with all three characteristics, however, had the lowest odds of elevated CRP.
