Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Sedentary Time, and Cardiovascular Risk Factor Clustering

Purpose: Prolonged sedentary time (ST) is associated with cardiovascular risk factors (CV-RF) independent of physical activity (PA). Whether a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can modify the deleterious health consequences related to high ST is not known. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 12,274 men and 14,209 women (≥20 yr) without known cardiovascular disease. Self-reported ST measurements during a regular day were divided into three sex-specific equally sized groups (≤4, 5 to
