Journal ArticleDOI
Screen-based entertainment time, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular events: population-based study with ongoing mortality and hospital events follow-up.
TL;DR: Recreational sitting, as reflected by television/screen viewing time, is related to raised mortality and CVD risk regardless of physical activity participation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sedentary office: an expert statement on the growing case for change towards better health and productivity
John Buckley,Alan Hedge,Thomas Yates,Robert Copeland,Michael Loosemore,Mark Hamer,Gavin Bradley,David W. Dunstan +7 more
TL;DR: Initial guidelines for employers to promote the avoidance of prolonged periods of sedentary work and promote among their staff that prolonged sitting may significantly and independently increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and premature mortality are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing sitting time in office workers: short-term efficacy of a multicomponent intervention.
Genevieve N. Healy,Elizabeth G. Eakin,Elizabeth G. Eakin,Anthony D. LaMontagne,Neville Owen,Elisabeth A. H. Winkler,Glen Wiesner,Lynn Gunning,Maike Neuhaus,Sheleigh Lawler,Brianna S. Fjeldsoe,David W. Dunstan +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that substantial reductions in sitting time are achievable in an office setting and larger studies with longer timeframes are needed to assess sustainability of these changes, as well as their potential longer-term impacts on health and work-related outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity and reliability of measures of television viewing time and other non-occupational sedentary behaviour of adults: A review
TL;DR: To strengthen future epidemiological and health behaviour studies, the development of reliable and valid self‐report instruments that cover the full range of leisure‐time sedentary behaviour is a priority.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charlotte L. Edwardson,Elisabeth A. H. Winkler,Danielle H. Bodicoat,Thomas Yates,Melanie J. Davies,David W. Dunstan,Genevieve N. Healy +6 more
TL;DR: Key issues to consider when using the activPAL in physical activity and sedentary behavior field-based research with adult populations are summarised and examples from current literature and experiences are presented.
