Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Physical inactivity, has been linked to development of metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Aim of the study was to assess the level of physical activity and it\'s association with prevalence of metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress in a semiurban foothill population of India.
METHODS: Participants (n = 288), >18 years of age were enrolled. Their demographics and clinical details were recorded. Fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity were measured. Physical activity was estimated using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire and converted into metabolic equivalent in minutes per week.
RESULTS: 37.5% of study population was found to be physically active, with more males (43.3%) being active than females (23.3%). Inactivity was associated with higher triglycerides levels in males and with higher hip circumference, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides and fasting plasma glucose in females. No significant difference was found in the oxidative stress, indicated by decreased glutathione peroxidase activity, between active and inactive persons or persons with normal and increased body mass index.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of physical inactivity in this region of India, with prevalence of physical inactivity higher is females as compared to males. No significant co-relation was found between the levels of activity and components of metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress in the study population.

摘要：
目标：身体不活动，与代谢综合征的发展有关，这增加了患心血管疾病的风险。该研究的目的是评估印度半城市山麓人口的体力活动水平及其与代谢综合征和氧化应激患病率的关系。
方法：参与者（n=288），>18岁参加。记录他们的人口统计学和临床细节。空腹血糖,甘油三酯，测量胆固醇和红细胞谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性。身体活动使用全球身体活动问卷进行估计，并以每周分钟为单位转换为代谢当量。
结果：37.5％的研究人群被发现身体活跃，活跃的男性(43.3%)比女性(23.3%)多。不活动与男性较高的甘油三酯水平和较高的臀围有关，舒张压,女性的甘油三酯和空腹血糖。在氧化应激方面没有发现显著差异，谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性降低，活跃和不活跃的人或体重指数正常和增加的人。
结论：在印度这个地区，缺乏体力活动的患病率很高，与男性相比，女性缺乏身体活动的患病率更高。在研究人群中，代谢综合征的活性水平和成分与氧化应激之间没有发现显着相关性。
