Abstract
Using smartphone reminders to prompt people to get moving may help reduce sedentary behaviour, report investigators. Evidence has linked sedentary time to increased risk of breast, colorectal, ovarian, endometrial, and prostate cancers as well as weight gain, higher BMI, and obesity. Nevertheless, adults in the US spend an average of about 8 waking hours per day being sedentary.
