Abstract
⺠Sedentary behaviour is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults. ⺠Associations are more consistent for self-reported sedentary behaviour. ⺠Risk factors included BMI, waist circumference, cholesterol ratio, Hb1Ac and diabetes. ⺠Non-TV self-reported sedentary time is only associated with diabetes. ⺠Accelerometer measured sedentary behaviour is only associated with waist circumference.
