TL;DR: New WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour reaffirm messages that some physical activity is better than none, that more physical Activity is better for optimal health outcomes and provide a new recommendation on reducing sedentary behaviours.

TL;DR: The InTBIR Participants and Investigators have provided informed consent for the study to take place in Poland.

TL;DR: Higher amounts of daily total sitting time are associated with greater risk of all-cause mortality and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity appears to attenuate the hazardous association, providing a starting point for identifying a threshold on which to base clinical and public health recommendations for overall sitting time, in addition to physical activity guidelines.

TL;DR: Physical activity is beneficial to health with or without weight loss, but adults who find it difficult to maintain a normal weight should probably be encouraged to reduce energy intake and minimize time spent in sedentary behaviours to prevent further weight gain.

TL;DR: A dose-response association between psychological distress across the full range of severity and an increased risk of mortality was found and this association remained after adjustment for somatic comorbidity plus behavioural and socioeconomic factors.
