Population health measurement of social norms for sedentary behaviour: A systematic review

摘要

Background: Adults spend the majority of their waking hours sedentary. Sedentary behaviour (SB) includes any waking behaviour with low energy expenditure while sitting, lying or reclining (e.g., watching television, sitting at a desk) and is associated with several chronic diseases and mortality. Social influence, namely SB norms may be a modifiable factor through which we can target and reduce SB. The objectives of this review were: 1) to create an inventory of measures assessing SB norms within the literature and population-based health surveys; and 2) identify measures of SB norms that are both reliable and valid in relation to SB for use in population-based health surveys.
