Dose-response relationship between sedentary time and anxiety and the moderating effect of a 10-min walk: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effectiveness and generalisability of conventional anxiety treatment programmes is low across the population, and it is important to explore the research evidence for preventing and improving anxiety from a physical activity perspective. This study examined sedentary activity's impact on anxiety, its dose-response relationship, and the interactive effects of 10-min walks and sedentary duration on anxiety.

Methods

A total of 28,977 individuals were chosen from the Chinese Psychological and Behavioural Study of the Population (PBICR) 2022. Binary logistic regression analyzed the association between sedentary time and anxiety and the interaction effect of daily 10-min walks and sedentary time on anxiety. Restricted cubic spline model explored the dose-response re
