Abstract Objective: To determine the prevalence of acquired heart diseases and its relationship with sedentary and non-sedentary lifestyle people of Patiala region. Background: In recent decades, affluent population has become increasingly sedentary, in which most of adults spending 70% or more of their waking hours sitting. From an evolutionary perspective, humans were designed to move- to locomote and engage in all manner of manual labour throughout the day. Comparing with our parents or grandparents, we are spending more amount of time in environments that limits our physical activity .Work sites, schools, homes and public spaces have been re-engineered in ways that minimizes human movement, which has dual effect on human behaviour: People move less and sit more. Evidence has emerged identifying habitual sedentary prolonged sitting as a novel risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. Time in sedentary behaviour is associated with increased cardiovascular diseases and all cause of mortality. Individuals engaging in light, moderate or vigorous physical activity had significantly lower risk for cardiovascular diseases mortality. Methods: A total of 100 participants, both males & females, aged between 35 to 75 years were included in the study. All participants were initially screened through Self Structured Questionnaire for demographic data and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ short form) was used as the criteria for identifying sedentary and non-sedentary individuals to rule out inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both the questionnaires were filled by the participants. Data was collected and analyzed. Results: The present study shows that acquired heart diseases were more common among sedentary participants (59%), as compared to non-sedentary participants (41%). The participants performing physical activity as part of work had significant association with sedentary lifestyle (p<0.01). And also the time spent in sitting and standing had significant association with sedentary lifestyle (p<0.01) .Smoking and alcohol drinking habits also showed significant association with sedentary lifestyle (p<0.01). Individuals engaging in light, moderate or vigorous physical activity had significantly lower risk for cardiovascular diseases mortality. Conclusion: The present study concludes that it will be feasible to induce people to shift some proportion of their sedentary time to higher volumes of light or moderate-intensity physical activity. People can indulge in various household chores activities, sports, meditation, yoga and asana. This is helpful in the primary prevention of chronic diseases beginning early in life.
