Introduction[edit | edit source]
Sedentary behaviour refers to “any waking behavior characterized by an energy expenditure ≤1.5 metabolic equivalents (METs), while in a sitting, reclining or lying posture”. Many adults spend roughly 9–10 h/day engaging in sedentary behaviours. Given this level of exposure, an understanding of its relationship with health outcomes is vital for the general public.[1]
A sedentary lifestyle has many adverse health effects, for example elevated all-cause mortality, CVD mortality, cancer risk, risks for metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and musculoskeletal diseases (eg knee pain and osteoporosis). The negative health impacts escalate with increases in the total daily sedentary times. For this reason, it is important to reduce the sedentary time as much as possible.[2]
