A comprehensive description of sitting time in Brazilian adults: a population-based study

ConclusionParticipants in our study reported a median sitting time of 3 and 4  h for week and weekend days respectively. We further observed an association between sitting time and age, socioeconomic status, educational attainment, and disability. Identifying groups at higher levels of sitting time is critical for devising initiatives aiming to reduce time spent in sedentary behavior, increase physical activity, and improve health.
