R and omized controlled trials found a positive correlation for SB with BMI , neck circumference , fat mass , HbA1C , cholesterol and insulin levels , cohort studies additionally for WC , leptin , C-peptide , ApoA1 and Low density lipoprotein and a negative correlation for HDL .
Most studied biomarkers associated with SB were of cardiovascular or metabolic origin .
OBJECTIVE Pathomechanisms of sedentary behaviour ( SB ) are unclear .
We conducted a systematic review to investigate the associations between SB and various biomarkers in older adults .
Television viewing time and weight gain in colorectal cancer survivors: a prospective population-based study
Objective To investigate the prospect i ve relationships between television viewing time and weight gain in the 3 years following colorectal cancer diagnosis for 1,867 colorectal cancer survivors ( body mass index ( BMI ) ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 ) . Methods  BMI , television viewing time , physical activity , and socio-demographic and clinical covariates  were assessed at baseline ( 5 months ) , 24 months and 36 months post-diagnosis . Multiple linear regression was used to study independent associations between baseline television  viewing time and BMI at 24 and 36 months post-diagnosis . Results At both follow-up time points , there was a significant increase in mean BMI for participants reporting ≥5 h/day of television viewing compared to those watching <3 h/day at baseline ( 24 months : 0.72 kg/m2 ( 0.31 , 1.12 ) , p < 0.001 ; 36 months : 0.61 kg/m2 ( 0.14 , 1.07 ) , p = 0.01 ) , independent of baseline BMI , gender , age , education , marital status , smoking , cancer site , cancer disease stage , treatment mode and co-morbidities . Additional adjustment for baseline physical activity did not change results . Conclusions These findings suggest that a greater emphasis on decreasing television viewing time  could help reduce weight gain among colorectal cancer survivors . This , in turn , could contribute to a risk reduction for co-morbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
