Abstract
This cross-sectional study examined the associations of cardiometabolic health markers with device-measured sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) in overweight working-aged adults (n=144, 42 men) with low self-reported PA. SB, standing time, breaks in sedentary time, light PA (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) were measured for four weeks using accelerometers. LPA, MVPA, and daily steps were associated with better insulin sensitivity and favorable lipid profiles, while a greater proportion of SB was associated with insulin resistance and unfavorable lipid profiles. The total daily duration of PA may be more relevant than intensity for metabolic health in overweight adults who do not meet PA guidelines.
