Mortality Risk Reductions for Replacing Sedentary Time With Physical Activities

Introduction Excess sitting is a risk factor for early mortality. This may be resulting, at least in part, from the displacement of physical activity with sedentary behaviors. The purpose of this observational study was to examine the mortality risk reductions associated with replacing 30minutes/day sitting for an equivalent duration of light or moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods Participants included 37,924 men and 54,617...
