Reallocating 30 minutes of sedentary behavior to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity significantly reduced body mass index (Beta -0.53) and waist circumference (Beta -1.42).
Meta-Analysis
Does reallocating 30 minutes of sedentary behavior to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity or sleep improve cardiometabolic health indicators in adults?
21 studies (18 cross-sectional, 3 cohort) pooling 62,056 adults and older adults (aged 18+). Most populations were from European and North American countries. No restrictions were placed on health status, including specific populations such as individuals with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and women post-breast cancer surgery.
30-minute isotemporal substitution of sedentary behavior or sleep with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) or light physical activity (LPA).
Baseline time allocation (isotemporal substitution models comparing different 24-hour movement behavior allocations).
Cardiometabolic health indicators including anthropometry (BMI, waist circumference), blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), blood glucose indicators (fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c), and blood lipids (HDL, LDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol).surrogate
Replacing 30 minutes of sedentary behavior with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity or sleep is associated with significant improvements in BMI, waist circumference, and lipid profiles in adults.
This study has been registered in PROPERO (CRD42024565071).

Zhang et al. (Wed,) conducted a meta-analysis in General adult population (no health restrictions) (n=62,056). Reallocating sedentary behavior to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) vs. Sedentary behavior was evaluated on Body mass index (BMI) (Beta -0.53, 95% CI -0.81 to -0.26). Reallocating 30 minutes of sedentary behavior to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity significantly reduced body mass index (Beta -0.53) and waist circumference (Beta -1.42).
