Document Summary
Sedentary time and its association with risk for disease incidence, mortality, and. The magnitude, consistency, and manner of association between sedentary time and outcomes independent of physical activity remain unclear. Purpose is to quantify the association between sedentary time and hospitalization, cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer in adults independent of physical activity. Should exercise for 150 min per week: intensity matters and helps prevent disease, but this is not the only thing. Wants to evaluate association between sedentary time and health outcomes . Hypothesis sedentary time would be independently associated with both cardio and noncardiovascular diseases, but the relative hazards associated with sedentary times would be attenuated in those who participate in higher levels of physical activity compared with lower ones. Largest effect for greatest amount of sedentary time was type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, our findings suggest that prolonged sedentary time, independent of physical activity, is positively associated with various deleterious health outcomes.
