Sedentary behaviour and life expectancy in the USA: a cause-deleted life table analysis
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine the impact of sitting and television viewing on life expectancy in the USA. DESIGN: Prevalence-based cause-deleted life table analysis. SETTING: Summary RRs of all-cause mortality associated with sitting and television viewing were obtained from a meta-analysis of available prospective cohort studies. Prevalences of sitting and television viewing were obtained from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE: Life expectancy at birth. RESULTS: The estimated gains in life expectancy in the US population were 2.00 years for reducing excessive sitting to <3 h/day and a gain of 1.38 years from reducing excessive television viewing to <2 h/day. The lower and upper limits from a sensitivity analysis that involved simultaneously varying the estimates of RR (using the upper and lower bounds of the 95% CI) and the prevalence of television viewing (±20%) were 1.39 and 2.69 years for sitting and 0.48 and 2.51 years for television viewing, respectively. CONCLUSION: Reducing sedentary behaviours such as sitting and television viewing may have the potential to increase life expectancy in the USA.

In the citing paper
“In another study, Katzmarzyk and Lee [15] reported an 18%-45% increase in risk of all-cause mortality for higher levels of sitting, relative to the lowest level.”
From Daily Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-Analysis (2013) · cites this paper as [15]
In the citing paper
“The main limitation of this meta-analysis is the small number of studies included, although this was greater than in some previous meta-analyses[13,15].”
From Daily Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-Analysis (2013) · cites this paper as [15]
In the citing paper
“Other meta-analyses have shown pooled HRs of 1.18-1.45 [15] and 1.49 [18] for the group with the highest level of sitting or sedentary time compared with the lowest group, respectively.”
From Daily Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-Analysis (2013) · cites this paper as [15]
In the citing paper
“However, both studies combined different measures of sedentary behavior (TV-viewing mostly, and sitting time) in their analyses, and neither study examined dose-response relationships for daily total sitting time.”

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.
