Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the independent and joint associations of
sitting time and physical activity with risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Background: Evidence that higher sedentary time is associated with higher risk for
cardiovascular disease (CVD) is based mainly on self-reported measures. Few studies have …

Background Although epidemiologic studies have shown associations between sedentary
behavior and mortality, few have focused on older women with adequate minority …

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

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 …

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

Background The role of walking, as compared with vigorous exercise, in the prevention of
cardiovascular disease remains controversial. Data for women who are members of minority …

The majority of adults do not meet current guideline recommendations for moderate to
vigorous physical activity. Recent research has linked a high amount of sedentary behavior …

Physical inactivity is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD)
incidence and mortality. In the last decade, there is also emerging evidence of the role of …

Epidemiological evidence is accumulating that indicates greater time spent in sedentary
