Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality Risk in 222 497 Australian Adults Prolonged sitting is considered detrimental to health, but evidence regarding the independent relationship of total sitting time with all-cause mortality is limited.

Public health programs should focus on reducing sitting time in addition to increasing physical activity levels.  Follow the Link to "Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality Risk" to read the whole article.  PDF (168 KB)
