Patterns of sedentary lifestyle in Missouri.
Sedentary lifestyle is a major modifiable risk factor for chronic disease in Missouri. Survey data was examined for the prevalence of sedentary lifestyle in Missouri. Sedentary lifestyle was higher among blacks, older adults, persons with lower levels of education or income, and obese persons. Based on the current trend, Missouri is unlikely to achieve the year 2000 objective of < or = 50% prevalence of sedentary lifestyle.
