Objectively Measured Sedentary Time, Physical Activity, and Metabolic Risk: The Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab)

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

Sedentary behaviour and risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and incident type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and dose response meta-analysis

TL;DR: Independent of PA, total sitting and TV viewing time are associated with greater risk for several major chronic disease outcomes, and for all-cause and CVD mortality, a threshold of 6–8 h/day of total Sitting and 3–4 h / day of TV viewing was identified, above which the risk is increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Television viewing time independently predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: the EPIC Norfolk Study

TL;DR: It is suggested that public health recommendations should consider advising a reduction in TV time, a predominant leisure activity in modern society, in addition to advocating physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Objectively measured sedentary time may predict insulin resistance independent of moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prospective association between objectively measured time spent sedentary and insulin resistance, and whether this association is independent of moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and other relevant confounders was examined.
