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 .
Ability of physical activity measurements to assess health-related risks
The aim of this study is to evaluate if two different physical activity ( PA ) question naires have similar ability to rank individuals , and to examine associations with cardiovascular-metabolic risk factors , compared to an objective measure . In a r and om sample ( n=369 , age : 65±6 years ) from the population -based ‘ Malmö Diet and Cancer ’ ( MDC ) cohort , PA was measured by a leisure-time comprehensive question naire ( MDC-score ) , a simple leisure-time question naire and by accelerometer-monitoring ( CSA ) . Moderate correlations were observed between MDC-score and CSA in men and women ( r=0.35 and 0.24 , respectively ) . In men , both question naires and CSA were inversely associated with waist circumference , insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome . In women , the MDC-score was positively associated with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol , and the simple question naire inversely associated with anthropometric indexes , but no association was seen between PA estimates and cardiovascular components . We conclude that both PA question naires distinguish health risks associated with anthropometric-metabolic risk factors , particularly in men
