Abstrakt:	Obesity is an ignored health problem in all countries; there are a lot of health problems related directly or indirectly to overweight and obesity. The incidence of COVID-19 with social isolation and technological development in recent years strongly contributed to a progressive increase in obesity. . Assess the pattern of the 3 divisions of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in obese patients. Physical inactivity is a significant concern, especially among individuals with obesity and certain demographic characteristics. Addressing these factors and promoting physical activity interventions tailored to specific populations is essential in combating sedentary behavior and its associated health implications.This case-control study included 350 adult obese patients (BMI ≥ 30) and 75 people with normal BMI (18.5-24.9). Their sociodemographic data were analyzed and their pattern of physical activity related to work, movement to and from places for 10 minutes, and pattern of recreational activity were assessed, in addition to the assessment of the sedentary behaviors. The mean age of the study group was 34 years, the majority were females, educated, and working. Forty five percent of the total sample were physically inactive; the pattern of activity during travel to and from places (10 min) was lower in obese patients. Recreational activities were low in the studied population, in the present study the time spent sitting or reclining (except sleeping) was significantly higher among obese participants than controls (P ≤ .001). Obesity, urban residence, unemployment and illiteracy were independent risk factors for physical inactivity. Competing Interests: The authors have no funding and conflicts of interest to disclose.
