Sitting time and associated factors among Portuguese older adults: results from...
Sousa, AS; Mendes, J; Guerra, RS; Padrão, P; Moreira, P; Santos, A; Borges, N; Afonso, C; Martins, C; Ferro, G; Amaral, TFOlder adults are particularly susceptible to sedentary behaviours. Sitting time has been increasingly referred to as a potentially modifiable risk factor in the prevention of chronic diseases. Identifying factors associated with sitting time, particularly those that are modifiable, will allow for more effective public health strategies. This study aimed to describe sitting time among Portuguese older adults and...
