Associations of reallocating sedentary leisure-time to alternative discretionary movement behaviours with incident cardiometabolic diseases in 0.5 million Chinese adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Chinese adults, there is a considerable burden of sedentary behaviour. This study aimed to estimate the implications of reallocating sedentary leisure-time to non-sedentary behaviours for incident cardiometabolic diseases.

Methods

A prospective cohort study of 462,370 Chinese adults (mean age 51 years; 59% female) who were free from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at baseline. Isotemporal substitution Cox regression models were used to estimate the associations of reallocating self-reported sedentary leisure-time to the same amount of sleep, housework, Taichi, or conventional exercise (e.g., walking, jogging, ball games, swimming) with the risk of incident diabetes, stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI). The results are reported as adjusted hazard ratios
