Key Points

To explore the relationship between sedentary behavior and future disease risk, particularly in CKM conditions.
Analyzed population-level data on sedentary behavior.
Examined links to cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health outcomes.
Identified associations with future disease risks.
Excess sedentary behavior correlates with increased risk of CKM conditions.
The burden of CKM diseases is comparable to other lifestyle factors.
Public health should prioritize reducing sedentary behavior.

Abstract

Excess sedentary behavior is broadly associated with future disease risk. Effects are prominent for CKM conditions, where population-level burden rivals consensus lifestyle factors. Avoiding excess sedentary behavior should be a key public health target.
