A systematic review of correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults aged 18–65 years: a socio-ecological approach

TL;DR: Individual level factors such as age, physical activity levels, body mass index, socio-economic status and mood were all significantly correlated with sedentariness and a trend towards increased amounts of leisure screen time was identified in those married or cohabiting while having children resulted in less total sitting time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Socio-economic determinants of physical activity across the life course: A "DEterminants of DIet and Physical ACtivity" (DEDIPAC) umbrella literature review

TL;DR: Findings suggest that for adults, convincing evidence supports a relationship between PA and socioeconomic status (SES), especially in relation to leisure time (positive relationship) and occupational PA (negative relationship).
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of determinants of sedentary behaviour in youth: a DEDIPAC-study

TL;DR: A systematic review of sedentary behaviour in youth found that a higher playground density and a higher availability of play and sports equipment at school were consistently related to an increased total SB, although these consistent findings come from single studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychological determinants of physical activity across the life course: a "DEterminants of DIet and Physical ACtivity" (DEDIPAC) umbrella systematic literature review.

TL;DR: It is found probable evidence that receiving encouragement from significant others and having a companion for PA were associated with higherPA in children and adolescents, and that parental marital status and experiencing parental modeling were not associated with PA in children.
