Background Sedentary behavior is associated with health risks in adults. The potential
benefits of reducing sedentary time may be dependent not only on decrease per se, but also …

Introduction Excess sitting is a risk factor for early mortality. This may be resulting, at least in
part, from the displacement of physical activity with sedentary behaviors. The purpose of this …

Little is known concerning the type of activity that should be substituted for sedentary time
and its potentially most hazardous form (prolonged sedentary bouts) to impart health benefit …

Objectives To investigate the associations of objectively assessed sedentary time, light
intensity physical activity (PA), moderate to vigorous intensity PA (MVPA), and total PA with …

Background Sedentary behaviour is a potential risk factor for chronic-ill health and mortality,
that is, independent of health-enhancing physical activity. Few studies have investigated the …

Objective Examine the joint effects of objectively-measured sedentary time and moderate-to-
vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on all-cause mortality. Methods The present study …

Background Questions remain about the effect on mortality of physical activity and sedentary
behaviour over time. We summarized the evidence from studies that assessed exposure …

Background The appropriate limit to the amount of daily sedentary time (ST) required to
minimize mortality is uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the dose-response …

Background Sedentary behavior has emerged as a novel health risk factor independent of
moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Previous studies have shown self-reported …

Background Current estimates from objective accelerometer data suggest that American
adults are sedentary for∼ 7.7 h/day. Historically, sedentary behaviour was conceptualized …
