- Prolonged sedentary time is significantly linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in individuals aged 60 and older.
- Risk factors such as age, gender, and hyperlipidemia critically influence the relationship between sedentary behavior and CVD.
- CVD risk rises notably after 250 minutes of sedentary time and increases sharply after 750 minutes, as shown by restricted cubic spline regression.
- Sedentary behavior is identified as a major independent risk factor for CVD, and reducing sedentary time can lower CVD risk.
- Public awareness and interventions, particularly for the elderly, are recommended to improve cardiovascular health and mitigate sedentary hazards.
