European Sitting Championship: Prevalence and Correlates of Self-Reported Sitting Time in the 28 European Union Member States

Abstract

There is substantial variation in self-reported sitting time among European adults across countries as well as socio-demographic groups. While regular surveillance of (objectively measured) sedentary behaviour is needed, the results of this study provide entry points for developing targeted interventions aimed at highly sedentary populations, such as people with sedentary occupations.
