Sedentary behaviour and obesity

Review of the current scientific evidence

Samenvatting

This report was commissioned by the Department of Health's Cross Government Obesity Unit to provide expert input into the process of developing recommendations on limiting time spent being sedentary. This report explores the evidence linking sedentary behaviour with health outcomes, and in particular overweight and obesity, describes what has been done in other countries, and investigates whether there is sufficient evidence to make recommendations on reducing or limiting sedentary behaviour.
