Greater amount of lying and reclining associate with cardiovascular disease risk score and several risk factors, while short sitting bouts and standing have opposite relation.

ABSTRACT: Excess sedentary behavior (SB) seems to be harmful for health, whereas the effects of standing can be opposite. The present study aimed at 1) describing different components of SB (lying, reclining, sitting) and standing accumulating from different bout lengths in a population-based sample and 2) analyzing their associations with indicators of cardiometabolic health. The study is based on cross-sectional accelerometer-measured data on 24/7 physical behavior among 20-69-year-old Finns. Outcomes were Framingham score for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, serum high (HDL)- and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol, triglycerides, and waist circumference. Participants (n = 4298) mean age was 51 years (SD=13) and 61 % were female. More lying and reclining, regardless of bo
