Sedentary behaviour—put simply, too much sitting, as a distinct concept from too little
exercise—is a novel determinant of cardiovascular risk. This definition provides a …

Purpose: To estimate the strength and shape of the dose–response relationship between
sedentary behaviour and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality, and …

Purpose: To provide an overview of relationships between sedentary behavior and mortality
as well as incidence of several non-communicable diseases and weight status reported in …

Epidemiological evidence is accumulating that indicates greater time spent in sedentary
behavior is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in adults …
