Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how sedentary time relates to different types of body fat measured by MRI in people at high risk for type 2 diabetes, and whether this relationship is affected by their physical activity levels.
  • Results showed that every extra hour of sedentary behavior was linked to increases in overall abdominal fat, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and liver fat, but these associations were only significant in individuals who did not meet the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week.
  • The findings suggest that reducing sedentary time could be particularly important for those who are inactive, as it is associated with accumulating more fat in various organs, which could increase health risks related to diabetes and other metabolic issues.

Even after accounting for age, ethnicity & activity levels, the longer you spend #sitting the day, the higher your risk for liver fat, inner (visceral) fat and total abdominal fat https://t.co/7nX61eaP1x
