Abstract: Sedentary behaviour or a lifestyle that lacks physical activity is increasingly becoming a global health concern, especially among women of childbearing age. This study was conducted to determine the relationship of age, parity, occupation, income and knowledge to sedentary factors in women of childbearing age. The research method used was correlational analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was taken using simple random sampling with a total of 43 respondents. Correlational relationship analysis was performed with the Spearman Rho Test. The results showed that age, parity, occupation, income, and knowledge were significantly associated with sedentary levels. The majority of respondents aged <20 years had high sedentary (75%); with a p-value <0.001 and r=0.536. In the parity variable, the primiparous majority were highly sedentary (71.4%); with p-value <0.001 and r=0.525. In the light occupation, the majority were highly sedentary (66.7%); with p<0.001 and r=0.567. Income <UMR majority of high sedentary (46.2%); with p=0.039 and r=0.319. Insufficient knowledge majority of high sedentary (61.9%); with p=0.008 and r=0.406. Sedentary time reduction that is easy to do by women of childbearing age themselves is by doing light physical activities such as walking, joining gymnastics, or reducing sitting time by moving every 30 minutes, besides that they can increase awareness about the importance of physical activity through reliable sources of information. This study implies that women of childbearing age can implement small changes in their daily routine to reduce sedentary behaviour and improve overall health.
