Sedentary Behaviour Epidemiology

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Epidemiology and Public Health ((SSEH))

Abstract

Obesity is thought to represent an intermediate variable in the pathway linking sedentary behaviour to the development of chronic disease, yet its role in the sedentary behaviour context has not been resolved. Numerous cross-sectional studies, prospective studies, and randomized controlled trials have examined the potential obesogenic effect of prolonged sedentary behaviour in children and adolescents, where television viewing has been the focus of the majority of studies. Results suggest that prolonged time spent sedentary is positively associated with adiposity in children and adolescents. The association may be partly explained by unhealthy eating behaviour associated with television viewing. By comparison, the current literature provides insufficient evidence for a positive relation between sedentary behaviour and adiposity among adults. Future prospective studies and randomized controlled trials using objective measures to monitor sedentary behaviour are needed to clarify the role of obesity in the sedentary behaviour context.
