Passive sedentary behavior is linked with higher Deficits Accumulation Index in humans (compared with 2-2.9 h/day) (2.13 (95% CI 0.78, 3.47); P for trend = 0.001).
“women who spent 3-3.9, 4-4.9 and ≥5 h/day on passive SB showed DA increases of 0.41 (-0.52, 1.35), 1.35 (0.13, 2.57) and 2.13 (0.78, 3.47)”
