  • Controversies in the Science of Sedentary Behaviour and Health

    Open AccessStuart Biddle, Jason A Bennie et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    The development in research concerning sedentary behaviour has been rapid over the past two decades. This has led to the development of evidence and views that have become more advanced, diverse and, possibly, contentious. These include the effects of standing, the breaking up of prolonged sitting and the role of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the association between sedentary behaviour and health outcomes. The present aim is to…

  • Evaluating the Evidence on Sitting, Smoking, and Health

    Jeff K Vallance, Paul A Gardiner et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2018Cited by: 3References: 46

    Sitting has frequently been equated with smoking, with some sources even suggesting that smoking is safer than sitting. This commentary highlights how sitting and smoking are not comparable. The most recent meta-analysis of sedentary behavior and health outcomes reported a hazard ratio of 1.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09, 1.41) for all-cause mortality. The relative risk (RR) of death from all causes among current smokers, compared with t…

  • Feasibility and acceptability of reducing workplace sitting time

    Open AccessNyssa Hadgraft, Nyssa T Hadgraft et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    While a number of low-cost approaches to reduce workplace sitting are perceived to be feasible and acceptable in the office workplace, factors such as work demands and the organisational social context may still act as barriers to greater uptake. Building a supportive organisational culture and raising awareness of the adverse health effects of prolonged sitting may be important for improving individual-level and organisational-level motivation f…

  • Correlates of General and Domain-Specific Sitting Time among Older Adults

    Jeff K Vallance, Dean T Eurich et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Health Behavior2016

    Older adults reported low levels of sitting time. Different correlates emerged for the employed and unemployed samples across sitting domains

  • Excessive sitting at work and at home

    Open AccessNyssa Hadgraft, Nyssa T Hadgraft et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Higher household income (both genders) and professional/managerial occupations (men only) were correlates of high occupational sitting time, relative to low occupational sitting time, while health-related factors (lower LTPA, higher BMI - men, and higher energy consumption - women) were associated with high levels of both occupational sitting and TV viewing time, relative to low occupational sitting and low TV viewing time. These findings suggest…

  • Development and testing of a past year measure of sedentary behavior

    Open AccessBrigid M Lynch, Christine M Friedenreich et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The SIT-Q has acceptable measurement properties for use in epidemiologic studies

  • Associations of Overall Sedentary Time and Screen Time with Sleep Outcomes

    Jeff K Vallance, Matthew P Buman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Health Behavior2014

    With respect to sleep outcomes, context-specific sedentary behaviors may be more important than overall sedentary time

  • Relationships between quality of life and finding benefits in a diagnosis of colorectal cancer

    Open AccessMachelle Rinaldis, Kenneth I Pakenham et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2010Cited by: 1References: 41

    This longitudinal study investigated relations between benefit-finding domains and outcome measures. Participants were 1,757 individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer. A written questionnaire and telephone interview were completed at 5-months (Time 1) and 12-months post-diagnosis (Time 2). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed three psychometrically sound factors: personal growth, interpersonal growth, and acceptance. Results o…
