Cardiovascular risks of prolonged sitting
Adults sit a lot, especially following dinner, when they watch television. Sitting has been linked to cardiovascular health, but long-term studies with accurate sitting measures are lacking. Furthermore, no research specifically examined the hazardous health-effects of prolonged sitting between dinner (our largest meal) and sleep time. This project investigates whether less sitting time, and more regular breaking up of sitting time throughout the day and following the evening meal can predict heart health in middle-aged adults. If it can, this will have important public health implications.
