Too Much Sitting: The Population Health Science of Sedentary Behavior
Open accessAbstract
In Brief Even when adults meet physical activity guidelines, sitting for prolonged periods can compromise metabolic health. Television (TV) time and objective measurement studies show deleterious associations, and breaking up sedentary time is beneficial. Sitting time, TV time, and time sitting in automobiles increase premature mortality risk. Further evidence from prospective studies, intervention trials, and population-based behavioral studies is required. Prolonged, unbroken sitting time is related adversely to cardio-metabolic health, and to premature all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Increased sedentary time is distinct from too little activity, and is itself associated with an independent increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
“It is now clear that increased sedentary time is distinct from too little activity, and is itself associated with an independent increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.19”
From Reduced physical activity in young and older adults: Metabolic and musculoskeletal implications (2019) · cites this paper as [19]
Sedentary time can account for 60% of waking hours (6-10 h/day) and behaviours such as TV viewing are associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality independent of smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diet.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
