Background: It is unclear what level of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity
(MVPA) offsets the health risks of sitting. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to …

Importance High amounts of sitting time are associated with increased risks of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in high-income countries, but it is unknown …

The obesity epidemic is attributed in part to reduced physical activity. Evidence supports that
reducing time spent sitting, regardless of activity, may improve the metabolic consequences …

Purpose Prolonged sitting has emerged as a risk factor for early mortality, but the extent of
benefit realized by replacing sitting time with exercise, or activities of everyday living (ie non …

Consistent independent associations have been observed between sitting time/sedentary
behaviors and elevated all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality risk. Generally, these …

Background Prolonged sitting is considered detrimental to health, but evidence regarding
the independent relationship of total sitting time with all-cause mortality is limited. This study …

Background: Sitting behaviours have been linked with increased risk of all-cause mortality
independent of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Previous studies have tended …

The majority of leisure time is spent in sedentary behaviors such as television viewing.
Studies have documented that prolonged leisure-time sitting is associated with higher risk of …

Sedentary behavior, as distinct from a lack of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, is an
emerging health risk behavior for the development of chronic diseases. Examples of …

Objective To quantify the association between daily total sitting and all-cause mortality risk
and to examine dose-response relationships with and without adjustment for moderate-to …
