Abstract in brief

  • Prolonged sitting, common in transportation, work, and home environments, has become a significant health concern, linked to increased risks of cardiometabolic issues, type 2 diabetes, and early death.
  • Even when accounting for exercise during leisure time, high levels of sedentary behavior still show negative health effects, emphasizing that sitting itself is an independent risk factor.
  • New research suggests that reducing sitting time should be a key focus in health strategies, prompting further studies and practical efforts to address this modifiable risk.]
