Device-measured stationary behaviour and cardiovascular and orthostatic circulatory disease incidence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have indicated that standing may be beneficially associated with surrogate metabolic markers, whereas more time spent sitting has an adverse association. Studies assessing the dose-response associations of standing, sitting and composite stationary behaviour time with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and orthostatic circulatory disease are scarce and show an unclear picture.

Objective

To examine associations of daily sitting, standing and stationary time with CVD and orthostatic circulatory disease incidence.

Methods

We used accelerometer data from 83 013 adults (mean age ± standard deviation = 61.3 ± 7.8; female = 55.6%) from the UK Biobank to assess daily time spent sitting and standing. Major CVD was defined as coronary heart disease, heart
