Background High amounts of sedentary behaviour have been associated with increased
risks of several chronic conditions and mortality. However, it is unclear whether physical …

Sedentary behaviours (time spent sitting, with low energy expenditure) are associated with
deleterious health outcomes, including all-cause mortality. Whether this association can be …

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 …

Introduction Recent studies have shown that sitting time is associated with increased risk of
all-cause mortality, independent of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Less is known …

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 …

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 …

Objective To examine whether the associations between sedentary behaviours (ie, daily
sitting/TV-viewing time) and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer differ …

Background It has been proposed that time spent sitting increases all-cause mortality, but
evidence to support this hypothesis, especially the relative effects of various sitting activities …

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 …

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 …
