Journal ArticleDOI
Sedentary time and cardio-metabolic biomarkers in US adults: NHANES 2003–06
Genevieve N. Healy,Charles E. Matthews,David W. Dunstan,David W. Dunstan,Elisabeth A. H. Winkler,Neville Owen,Neville Owen +6 more
TL;DR: These are the first population-representative findings on the deleterious associations of prolonged sedentary time with cardio-metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers and suggest that clinical communications and preventive health messages on reducing and breaking up sedentaryTime may be beneficial for cardiovascular disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breaking Up Prolonged Sitting Reduces Postprandial Glucose and Insulin Responses
David W. Dunstan,Bronwyn A. Kingwell,Robyn N. Larsen,Genevive N Healy,Genevive N Healy,Ester Cerin,Marc T. Hamilton,Jonathan E. Shaw,Jonathan E. Shaw,David A. Bertovic,Paul Zimmet,Paul Zimmet,Jo Salmon,Neville Owen,Neville Owen +14 more
TL;DR: Interrupting sitting time with short bouts of light- or moderate-intensity walking lowers postprandial glucose and insulin levels in overweight/obese adults and may improve glucose metabolism and potentially be an important public health and clinical intervention strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rising Prevalence of Diabetes and Impaired Glucose Tolerance: The Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study
David W. Dunstan,Paul Zimmet,Timothy A Welborn,Maximilian de Courten,Adrian J. Cameron,Richard Sicree,Terry Dwyer,Stephen Colagiuri,Damien Jolley,Matthew Knuiman,Robert C. Atkins,Jonathan E. Shaw +11 more
TL;DR: Australia has a rapidly rising prevalence of diabetes and other categories of abnormal glucose tolerance, one of the highest yet reported from a developed nation with a predominantly Europid background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objectively Measured Sedentary Time, Physical Activity, and Metabolic Risk: The Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab)
Genevieve N. Healy,Katrien Wijndaele,David W. Dunstan,Jonathan E. Shaw,Jo Salmon,Paul Zimmet,Neville Owen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the associations of objectively measured sedentary time and physical activity with continuous indexes of metabolic risk in Australian adults without known diabetes, and highlighted the importance of decreasing the amount of time spent in physical activity for metabolic health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Too Little Exercise and Too Much Sitting: Inactivity Physiology and the Need for New Recommendations on Sedentary Behavior.
TL;DR: It is time to consider excessive sitting a serious health hazard, with the potential for ultimately giving consideration to the inclusion of too much sitting (or too few breaks from sitting) in physical activity and health guidelines.
