A cross-sectional analysis of the associations between leisure-time sedentary behaviors and clustered cardiometabolic risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the association between different types of leisure-time sedentary behavior (watching television, using a computer, reading and socializing) and clustered cardiometabolic risk in apparently healthy adults aged 40 to 65 years.

Data were collected between Feb
