Towards better evidence-informed global action: lessons learnt from the Lancet series and recent developments in physical activity and public health
In the past few decades, the field of physical activity has grown and evolved in scope, depth, visibility and impact around the world. Global progress has been observed in research…
Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality
Objective: To examine the dose-response associations between accelerometer assessed total physical activity, different intensities of physical activity, and sedentary time and all cause mortality. Results: 39 studies were retrieved for…
Objectively measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour and all-cause mortality in older men
Objectives: To understand how device-measured sedentary behaviour and physical activity are related to all-cause mortality in older men, an age group with high levels of inactivity and sedentary behaviour. Methods:…
Does physical activity attenuate, or even eliminate, the detrimental association of sitting time with mortality?
High levels of moderate intensity physical activity (ie, about 60–75 min per day) seem to eliminate the increased risk of death associated with high sitting time. However, this high activity…
Physical activity
We now know that physical inactivity is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, some cancers, poor skeletal health, some aspects of mental health, and overall…
Is the time right for quantitative public health guidelines on sitting?
Sedentary behaviour (SB) has been proposed as an ‘independent’ risk factor for chronic disease risk, attracting much research and media attention. Many countries have included generic, non-quantitative reductions in SB…
Leisure time physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity and mortality
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…
Effect of physical inactivity on major non-communicable diseases worldwide
Strong evidence shows that physical inactivity increases the risk of many adverse health conditions, including major non-communicable diseases such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast and colon…
Sedentary behaviour and life expectancy in the USA
Objectives: To determine the impact of sitting and television viewing on life expectancy in the USA. Setting: Summary RRs of all-cause mortality associated with sitting and television viewing were obtained…
