Abstract: Objective To investigate the influence of sedentary behavior on chronic diseases of different occupational groups in Jiading District. Methods We studied the sedentary time and the morbidity of chronic illnesses among different occupational groups aged between 20 and 74 in Anting town, Huating town and Huangdu town. Results The overall prevalence of hypertension (37.88%) was greater than that of diabetes (8.64%), and the prevalence of both chronic diseases in men was greater than that in women.There was a difference in prevalence between the two types of chronic diseases in different occupational groups.The length of time the subjects sat or leaned on each day was consistent with the occupational distribution of the two chronic diseases. Conclusion The prevalence of chronic diseases among different occupational groups may be related to sedentary behavior.CDC and community should promote education and encourage sports among these occupations.
