The DeskCycle is effective in reducing sedentary behavior, suggesting workers in sedentary office occupations could integrate it into their workday, where possible, to prevent negative health outcomes...
Health behaviors play a pivotal role in improving and strengthening health. Nurses, who constitute the vast majority of employees in the health sector, play a crucial role not only in treating disease...
A sedentary lifestyle has implications for health and well-being. For healthy ageing, it is recommended to interrupt prolonged sitting; however, little is known about the meaning of sedentary behavior...
A phenomenological hermeneutics approach was used, and individual interviews were conducted with sixteen older adults aged 70 to 97 years, by phone and face to face. The older adults lived in ordinary...
The interviews yielded three key themes: Being sedentary is an unnatural part of life, having an ageing body means unwanted frailty, and having a sedentary lifestyle is based on conscious choices....
Being sedentary means having a lack of physical activity and social interactions, resulting in wanting to be more physically active than sometimes possible. Clinical practitioners should bear in mind ...
This study aimed at exploring the potential causal effects of leisure sedentary behavior (LSB) on common types of arthritis....
Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), including both univariable MR (UVMR) and multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis, was performed to explore the effects of LSB on the risk of several common types of a...
UVMR results provided evidence for the causal relationship of time spent on watching TV with overall OA [odds ratio (OR) = 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.45-2.23], KOA (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.4...
This study demonstrated the genetic causal association of prolonged TV watching time with overall OA and KOA risks....
The symptoms and outcomes of depressed mood are considered severe social issues among Korean adolescents. However, it is difficult to detect depressed mood and evaluate the factors associated with sui...
From 2014 to 2020, the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS), which is a web-based self-report survey, was used for analysis. A total of 366,405 individuals participated in this study. Sedentary be...
Compared to the MS, which is the reference, male participants in both the LS and HS had experienced depressed mood (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.035, 95% CI = 1.003-1.068 in the LS, adjusted OR: 1.091,...
This study found a positive association between the prevalence of depressed mood and sedentary behavior, and it focused on the cause and timing. Interventions targeting sedentary behavior could be eff...
Sedentary behavior is a public health threat with extensive health burden on society. High levels of sedentary behavior have been associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and cancer...
This was an intervention study where participants used the DeskCycle in two consecutive eight-week phases and uploaded DeskCycle use data daily. A questionnaire was administered after week 2 and week ...
The participants (N = 78) had an average age of 44.4 (±11.3) years and were primarily non-Hispanic White (88.5%). DeskCycle daily use varied from Phase I: 84% to 64.9% (weeks 1-7), and 49.4% in week 8...
Using a DeskCycle in an academic office environment to reduce sedentary behavior is feasible in female office workers. Consideration should be given to the type of tasks performed while cycling....
Exposure to air pollution has become a serious environmental issue affecting children's health and health-related behavior in China. Previous studies have focused on the associations between air pollu...
PA and SB data were collected by actiGraph accelerometers for eight consecutive days. PA and SB data from 206 children were matched to daily air pollution obtained from the Ministry of Environmental P...
A 10-unit increase in daily AQI was associated with a reduction in daily PA by 5.94 (95% confidence interval [CI] = -8.79, -3.08) minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and 229.82 (9...
Air pollution may discourage physical activity and increase sedentary behavior among children. Policy interventions are needed to reduce air pollution and develop strategies to decrease risks to child...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant health care burden, with a worldwide prevalence of approximately 11%. The general population spends over 50% of the awake time sedentary activities. Howev...
We used data from the 8...
Among the women, the risk of CKD was significantly greater among those who sat for ≥ 12 h/d relative to those who sat for < 6 h/d, after adjusting for physical activity and other covariates (odds rati...
Excessive sedentary behavior was associated with an increased risk of CKD, especially albuminuria, regardless of the level of physical activity, only in women. These findings emphasize the importance ...
In the pilot study sedentary behavior and physical activity were measured in pregnant women using an accelerometer....
A total of 32 pregnant women were enrolled in the study; eleven of them were included in the first trimester. The defined wearing periods for the accelerometer in the first, second and third trimester...
The pregnant women were on average 30 years old, 50% were nulliparous, and 68.8% had a high school diploma. The accelerometer was worn on average of 13 hours per day. Sedentary behavior was recorded m...
Pregnant women spent more than half of the monitored day in sedentary behaviors. Half of them did meet the recommendations for physical activity in the second and third trimester. The results show tha...
Sedentary behavior (SB; time spent sitting, as distinct from lack of exercise or physical activity) is associated with depression, yet little is known about the relationship between different types of...
We used cohort data from the 1958 National Child Development Study (n = 4607; 50.4 % women), conducted in UK, employing the 44 y and 46 y waves as baseline, and the 50 y and 55 y waves as follow-up. P...
Mentally-passive SB was associated with incident depression (HR: 1.43; 95%CI: 1.19; 1.71), while there was no association for mentally-active SB. Waist circumference (coefficient: -0.03; 95%CI: -0.05;...
In the relationship of mentally-passive SB with incident depression, the mediating contributions of waist circumference and C-reactive protein point to possible inflammatory-related mechanisms....
