What Do Older People Do When Sitting and Why? Implications for Decreasing Sedentary Behavior

摘要

Effective sedentary behavior interventions require greater understanding of what older adults do when sitting (and not sitting), and why. This study compares the types, context, and role of sitting activities in the daily lives of older men and women who sit more or less than average.
