Journal ArticleDOI
Sedentary behaviors and subsequent health outcomes in adults : A systematic review of longitudinal studies, 1996-2011
TL;DR: Findings indicate a consistent relationship of self-reported sedentary behavior with mortality and with weight gain from childhood to the adult years, however, findings were mixed for associations with disease incidence, weight gain during adulthood, and cardiometabolic risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupational sitting and health risks: a systematic review
Jannique G. Z. van Uffelen,Jason Wong,Josephine Y. Chau,Hidde P. van der Ploeg,Ingrid I. Riphagen,Nicholas D. Gilson,Nicola W. Burton,Genevieve N. Healy,Genevieve N. Healy,Alicia A. Thorp,Bronwyn K. Clark,Paula Gardiner,David W. Dunstan,Adrian Bauman,Neville Owen,Neville Owen,Wendy J. Brown +16 more
TL;DR: Limited evidence was found to support a positive relationship between occupational sitting and health risks, and the heterogeneity of study designs, measures, and findings makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions at this time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolonged sedentary time and physical activity in workplace and non-work contexts: a cross-sectional study of office, customer service and call centre employees
Alicia A. Thorp,Alicia A. Thorp,Genevieve N. Healy,Genevieve N. Healy,Elisabeth A. H. Winkler,Bronwyn K. Clark,Paula Gardiner,Neville Owen,Neville Owen,David W. Dunstan +9 more
TL;DR: The workplace is a key setting for prolonged sedentary time, especially for some occupational groups, and the potential health risk burden attached requires investigation; future workplace regulations and health promotion initiatives for sedentary occupations to reduce prolonged sitting time should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relevance of Sympathetic Nervous System Activation in Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
TL;DR: The regulatory role of the sympathetic nervous system in metabolic control and the proposed pathophysiology linking sympathetic overactivity to metabolic abnormalities are discussed and possible therapeutic options to improve metabolic control in at-risk patient cohorts are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deleterious associations of sitting time and television viewing time with cardiometabolic risk biomarkers: Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) study 2004-2005.
Alicia A. Thorp,Genevieve N. Healy,Genevieve N. Healy,Neville Owen,Neville Owen,Jo Salmon,Jo Salmon,Kylie Ball,Jonathan E. Shaw,Paul Zimmet,David W. Dunstan +10 more
TL;DR: In women and men, sitting time and TV viewing time were deleteriously associated with cardio-metabolic risk biomarkers, with sitting time having more consistent associations in both sexes and being independent of central adiposity.
