been identified as a distinct health risk, independent of physical activity, SB is a significant …

Background/objectives: Sedentary behavior (SB), defined as sitting (nonexercising),
reclining, and lying down (posture), or by low energy expenditure, is a public health risk …

Sedentary behaviour (SB) has recently emerged as an independent risk factor for different

Background/aims The purposes of this study were to examine the relationship between
various objectively measured sedentary behavior (SB) variables and physical function in …

Purpose: With evidence that prolonged sitting has deleterious health consequences,
decreasing sedentary time is a potentially important preventive health target. High-quality …

Sedentary time (ST) is an important risk factor for a variety of health outcomes in older
adults. Consensus is needed on future research directions so that collaborative and timely …

Background: prolonged sedentary behaviour has been associated with a number of chronic
health conditions. This issue is compounded by inactivity increasing with age. Objective: this …

Background The evidence showing the ill health effects of prolonged sedentary behaviour
(SB) is growing. Most studies of SB in older adults have relied on self-report measures of SB …
