TI  - Relationship of physical activity and eating behaviour with obesity and type 2 
      diabetes mellitus: Sofia Lifestyle (SLS) study.
PG  - 11-8
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Physical inactivity and excessive food consumption play a major role 
      in the etiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the 
      present study was to investigate the relationship of physical activity (PA) and 
      eating behaviour with obesity and T2DM in citizens of Sofia, Bulgaria. PATIENTS 
      AND METHODS: A total of 511 randomly chosen participants completed a validated 
      questionnaire concerning age, body height and weight, medical history, and 
      motivation for a lifestyle change. The Baecke PA questionnaire and the Three 
      Factor Eating Questionnaire were also completed. RESULTS: Body mass index (BMI) 
      was significantly higher among subjects in the lowest compared with the middle (P 
      = 0.002) and with the highest tertile of leisure time PA (P < 0.001), also 
      between the lowest and the highest tertile group of sport PA (P = 0.001). BMI 
      differed significantly in the highest vs. the middle (P = 0.04), as well as vs. 
      the lowest (P= 0.017) tertile of uncontrolled eating behaviour. The prevalence of 
      T2DM was significantly greater in the lowest vs. the middle (P = 0.027) and the 
      highest (P = 0.02) tertile of leisure time PA. In a multiple regression analysis 
      both leisure time PA and uncontrolled eating were independently associated with 
      BMI (beta = -0.13, 95% CI -1.83 to -0.11, P = 0.03 and beta = 0.32, 95% CI 0.23 
      to 0.44, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We found a strong inverse relationship between 
      the level of PA during leisure time (including sport), BMI, and the prevalence of 
      T2DM. Uncontrolled eating behaviour was also found to have a significant effect 
      on BMI.
