Association of sitting time and breaks in sitting with muscle mass, strength, function, and inflammation in community-dwelling older adults
ConclusionIn older community-dwelling adults, greater sitting time was associated with a lower percentage lean mass, while more frequent breaks in sitting time were associated with lower odds of having pre-sarcopenia. This suggests that reducing sedentary time and introducing frequent breaks in sedentary time may be beneficial for improving body composition in healthy older adults.
