Abstract

(1) Background: This study examined the cross-sectional association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) status classified into three groups and daily physical activity (PA; step count and active minutes) using a wearable device in Japanese office workers. (2) Methods: This secondary analysis used data from 179 participants in the intervention group of a randomized controlled trial for 3 months. Individuals who had received an annual health check-up and had MetS or were at a high risk of MetS based on Japanese guidelines were asked to use a wearable device and answer questionnaires regarding their daily life for the entire study period. Multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models adjusted for covariates associated with MetS and PA were used to estimate associations. A sensitivity analysis investigated the associations between MetS status and PA level according to the day of the week. (3) Results: Compared to those with no MetS, those with MetS were not significantly associated with PA, while those with pre-MetS were inversely associated with PA [step count Model 3: OR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.99; active minutes Model 3: OR = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.40, 0.96]. In the sensitivity analysis, day of the week was an effect modifier for both PA ( p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Compared to those with no MetS, those with pre-MetS, but not MetS, showed significantly lower odds of reaching their daily recommended PA level. Our findings suggest that the day of the week could be a modifier for the association between MetS and PA. Further research with longer study periods and larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our results.
