| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study examined the impacts of objectively-measured and self-reported sedentary behavior patterns on a variety of health outcomes, and explored correlates/determinants of prolonged sedentary behavior among university alumni. In the cross-sectional and longitudinal study design, we conducted accelerometer measurement, blood test, physical fitness and functional assessment, and web-based survey. The present study identified types or patterns of sedentary behavior associated with deleterious health outcomes and some correlates/determinants of too much sitting. These findings would be more fruitful and organized information or clues to develop guideline on evidence-based approaches for reducing sedentary behavior among Japanese adults.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究課題は、コホート研究の参加者のうち、加速度計による座位行動評価に加え、血液検査、体力・運動機能測定等に協力可能な中高齢者を対象に、座り過ぎの健康影響と決定要因の解明に向けた横断的・縦断的研究を行ったものである。世界20カ国中最長である日本人成人の座位時間を減らす取り組みの推進は国家レベルにおける使命であり、本研究から得られた成果はその方策を確立していく際に大いに役立てることができるものとなった。
