Sedentary Activity Associated With Metabolic Syndrome Independent of Physical Activity

Abstract

The proportion of sedentary time was strongly related to metabolic risk, independent of physical activity. Current results suggest older people may benefit from reducing total sedentary time and avoiding prolonged periods of sedentary time by increasing the number of breaks during sedentary time.
