Abstract

Objective To explore the association of physical activity (PA) intensity and sedentary behavior (SB) with functional constipation (FC) among middle school students, so as to provide evidence for rational daily PA planning and FC prevention in this population. Methods A total of 1 371 students in grades 7 - 9 (aged 13 - 15 years) from Yinchuan were selected using stratified cluster convenience sampling in March 2024.PA and SB levels were assessed according to the Assessment of Physical Activity Levels in Children and Adolescents Aged 7-18 (WS/T 10008-2023), and FC was diagnosed based on the Rome Ⅳ criteria for children/adolescents.Binary logistic regression was used to examine the association between PA duration and FC. Results Among the participants, 987 (71.99%) met the recommended daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) level of ≥70 minutes, including 521 boys (74.86%) and 466 girls (69.04%), with no significant gender difference (χ² =2.69, P>0.05).FC was identified in 106 students (7.73%), including 50 boys (7.18%) and 56 girls (8.29%).Significant gender differences were observed across all age groups (χ²=7.45, 8.69, 8.51, all P<0.05).The Cochran-Armitage trend test indicated a significant linear trend between PA duration and FC prevalence (P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that both light physical activity (LPA) and MVPA duration were negatively associated with FC(OR＝0.751、0.893), while SB duration was positively associated with FC (OR＝1.035)(P<0.05). Conclusions LPA and MVPA are negatively correlated with FC, whereas SB is positively correlated with FC.Schools and families should promote increased duration and intensity of physical activity and reduce sedentary time according to the developmental characteristics and gender differences of middle school students, so as to support healthy adolescent development.
