“…This is important because low levels of physical activity and prolonged sitting time have been shown to be independent risk factors for all-cause mortality. [14][15][16] HEALÔ participants also achieved significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption. Results from the 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey and 2011-2012 Australian National Health Survey indicated that while 50% of people surveyed were eating two or more serves of fruit a day, only 20%-30% were eating four or more serves of vegetables.…”

Issue addressed: Community-based lifestyle modification programs can be a valuable strategy to reduce risk factors for chronic disease. However, few government-funded programs report their results in the peer-reviewed literature. Our aim was to report on the effectiveness of the Healthy Eating Activity and Lifestyle (HEALÔ) program, a program funded under the Australian government's Healthy Communities Initiative. Methods: Participants (n = 2827) were recruited to the program from a broad range of backgrounds and each week completed an hour of group-based physical activity followed by an hour of lifestyle education for 8 weeks. Physical activity, sitting time, fruit and vegetable consumption, anthropometric measures, blood pressure and functional capacity data were gathered at baseline and post-program. Results: HEALÔ participation resulted in significant acute improvements in frequency and volume of physical activity, reductions in daily sitting time and increases in fruit and vegetable consumption. HEALÔ participation led to reductions in total body mass, body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure and to improvements in functional capacity (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Based on these findings and the coordinated approach to program delivery, the HEALÔ program warrants consideration as a behaviour change strategy in primary health care networks, local government or community settings.So what? These findings should inform future policy development around implementation of lifestyle modification programs; they strengthen the case for support and promotion of lifestyle modification programs to improve public health, lessening the financial and personal burden of chronic conditions.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] There are indications that not only is total sedentary time important, but also how this time is accumulated throughout the day. Previous studies have shown that frequent interruptions in sedentary time may be associated with beneficial health outcomes, 8,9 suggesting that breaking up sedentary time may offset the detrimental effects of high total sedentary time.…”

Background: Prolonged, uninterrupted sitting time is associated with poor health outcomes.As most sitting time occurs at work, accurate, objective measurement of occupational sitting patterns is required to fully understand its effects on employee health. Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine associations between desk-based sitting patterns, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI).Methods: Participants were full-time, office-based employees (N=105; mean age 40.9±11.5 years; BMI 26.1±3.9, 65% women). Sitting patterns (total desk-based sitting time and number of times employees got up from their desk) were assessed for five days using an objective measure of desk-based sitting, the sitting pad. WC, height and weight were measured, and BMI calculated (weight/height 2 ). Associations between sitting patterns, WC and BMI were tested using logistic regression models. Data were collected and analysed between 2011/12.Results: Those with high sitting time at their desk were 2.7 times (95% CI: 1.3 to 6.3) more likely to have WC ≥94 cm (men) or ≥80cm (women), and 9.0 times (95% CI: 1.9 to 41.9) more likely to have BMI ≥30 than those with lower sitting time. There were no significant associations between the number of times employees got up from sitting at their desk and WC or BMI. Conclusion:High desk-based sitting time was associated with increased likelihood of weight related health outcomes whereas frequency of getting up from sitting at the desk was not.3

“…O rastreamento e a quantificação dos fatores de risco à saúde mental caracterizam-se como medidas importantes para a prevenção de danos a população idosa. Apesar de não ter sido observada associação entre CS e TMC no presente estudo, achados da literatura mostraram que o incremento do tempo despendido em atividades sedentárias aumenta o risco de morbimortalidade 8,[20][21][22][23] . Gastar tempo demasiadamente em comportamento sedentário leva a piores condições de saúde e mortalidade prematura 24 .…”

“…Ao relacionar o comportamento sedentário, a prática de atividade física e indicadores de mortalidade em idosos, percebe-se que o tempo adequado de prática de atividade física não elimina o risco de mortalidade decorrente do excesso de atividades sedentárias 8,18,22,27,28 . O estilo de vida moderno, caracterizado por elevado tempo livre em atividades sedentárias, está associado a maior isolamento social e, com isso, a aumento do risco de disfunção cognitiva e mental 29 .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o comportamento sedentário (CS) como discriminador dos Transtornos Mentais Comuns (TMC) entre idosos. Métodos Estudo transversal com amostra composta por 310 indivíduos idosos, residentes no município de Ibicuí-BA. Foi utilizado um questionário contendo informações sobre características sociodemográficas, inatividade física no tempo livre e questões autorreferidas do tempo gasto sentado em um dia habitual da semana e de um dia do final de semana. Para estimar o ponto de corte do Comportamento Sedentário na discriminação dos TMC, utilizou-se a curva Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC). Resultados A prevalência de TMC foi de 55,8%, sendo maior entre as mulheres (66,7%). Os maiores valores para a área sob as curvas ROC entre CS e TMC foi para o sexo masculino: CS/dia 0,58 (IC 95% = 0,49-0,67). Os pontos de corte propostos para CS/dia foram: homens: > 330 min/dia; mulheres: > 300 min/dia. Conclusão O comportamento sedentário é um indicador válido para identificação de suspeita de TMC em idosos, mostrando-se ser um fator de risco que deve ser observado pelos profissionais de saúde.

Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality Risk in 222 497 Australian Adults

Abstract: Prolonged sitting is a risk factor for all-cause mortality, independent of physical activity. Public health programs should focus on reducing sitting time in addition to increasing physical activity levels.
