Sedentary Patterns Are Associated with Bone Mineral Density and Physical Function in Older Adults: Cross-Sectional and Prospective Data

Abstract: Aging causes some unfavorable morphological and functional changes, such as the decline in bone mineral density (BMD) and physical function. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time seem to be related with these alterations, but the impact of distinct patterns remains unclear. The aim of this study was to cross-sectionally and prospectively assess the association between objectively measured MVPA and sedentary patterns (bouts and breaks) with BMD and physical function in older adults.

“…Previous studies have shown a negative association between SA and BMD; consistent evidence has been reported in older adults [23,24]. A prospective study from Brazil found that increased sitting time was associated with decreased lumbar BMD in women [25]. A study from the UK of men in northeastern England also found a negative association between sedentary time and spinal BMD in men [23].…”

“…As such from a public health perspective, another consideration is sedentary breaks (how many per day, how often, for how long) and sedentary bouts. It has been reported that older women may benefit more from shorter sedentary bouts when it comes to spine BMD 28 , but the possible effect of this strategy has not been tested widely and thus requires further investigation.…”
