Abstract

Background

It is unclear what level of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) offsets the health risks of sitting.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to examine the joint and stratified associations of sitting and MVPA with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and to estimate the theoretical effect of replacing sitting time with physical activity, standing, and sleep.
