Objective The middle-aged non-manual workers' physical activity status, the characters of partial physical fitness index and the relationship between the two aspects were analyzed to provide people with early warning of " metabolic syndrome". Methods 300 persons aging 40 ~ 49 participated in the survey, including 144 male and 156 female. The long-form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was conducted among the middle-aged non-manual workers in Suzhou City to get the conclusion of physical activity engagement status. The survey also contains the tests of height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference and some derived indexes such as body mass index (BMI) , waist circumference (WC) , waist hip ratio (WHR) , blood pressure and blood glucose in this target group. Results Moderate-intensity physical activity and walk are the main manners of physical activity. The proportion of people who engage in low, mediate and high physical activity level is 35% , 57% and 8% respectively. The rate of female who reached the sufficiency of physical activity (94% ) is higher than that of male (89% ) , but the difference is not significant (P > 0. 05 ). The WC ( 75. 44 ± 8.24cm) and WHR(0.79 ±0.04) of people who engage in high physical activity level are much lower than that of people who take low physical activity level( WC 80. 88+5. 28cm, WHR 0. 84 ±0. 05) (P < 0. 05 ) . Overall, the tendency of physical activity of people who owns normal BMI, WC and WHR excels quiet well, while the difference is not so evident (P >0. 05). On the division of blood pressure, the normal group takes a much more active part in the high intensity physical activities and walk than the group in high blood pressure do (P < 0. 05).
