Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and all-cause mortality
Do bouts matter?
Background: The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults accumulate moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in bouts of ≥10 minutes for substantial health benefits. To what extent the same…
Daily sitting time and all-cause mortality
A meta-analysis
Dit is een meta-analyse van studies die zowel dagelijkse zittijd als sterfte in de loop van de tijd gemeten hebben. De conclusies zijn dat een langere dagelijkse zittijd gekoppeld is…
Accelerometer-based measures of active and sedentary behavior in relation to breast cancer risk
The findings support an inverse association between accelerometer-based measures of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and breast cancer while also suggesting potential increases in risk with sedentary time.
Too much sitting
The population-health science of sedentary behavior
Even when adults meet physical activity guidelines, sitting for prolonged periods can compromise metabolic health. TV time and objective-measurement studies show deleterious associations, and breaking up sedentary time is beneficial.…
Amount of time spent in sedentary behaviors and cause-specific mortality in US adults
Time spent in sedentary behaviors was positively associated with mortality, and participation in high levels of MVPA (moderate-vigorous physical activity) did not fully mitigate health risks associated with prolonged time…
Leisure time physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity and mortality
A large pooled cohort analysis
Background: Leisure time physical activity reduces the risk of premature mortality, but the years of life expectancy gained at different levels remains unclear. Our objective was to determine the years…
Sedentary time and cardio-metabolic biomarkers in US adults
NHANES 2003-06
Prolonged sedentary time is ubiquitous in developed economies and is associated with an adverse cardio-metabolic risk profile and premature mortality. This study examined the associations of objectively assessed sedentary time…
