Special Issue "Sedentary Behaviour as an Risk Factor for Chronic Disease"

Dear Colleagues,

It has been pointed out that obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pollination of alcohol, etc. increase the number of various affected people. In addition, malnutrition tends to cause physical activity reduction, weight loss, muscle weakness, body fat reduction, and eventually infectious diseases. On the other hand, maintenance and improvement of physical activities are effective not only for the prevention and improvement of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, infectious diseases, but also for preventing prevention and deterioration of falling into a state requiring nursing care. However, even if physical activity is performed periodically, those with sedentary behavior (too much sitting) may increase various health risks (total death, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.).

This Special Issue is not only looking for papers reporting original data from epidemiologic studies, but also systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
