Percentage of Participants with a Self-Reported Sedentary Lifestyle Across Accelerometer-Derived Sedentary Time Tertiles. All participants were asked to best describe their usual daily activities, selecting from one of four descriptions: 1) sits during the day and does not walk very much, 2) stands or walks about a lot during the day, but does not have to carry or lift things often, 3) lifts lights loads or has to climb hills or stairs often, and 4) does heavy work or carries heavy loads. Shown here is the percentage of participant respondents (n=815 for men and n=714 for women) with a self-reported sedentary profile (i.e. profile 1 above) by sedentary time tertile. For men (in minutes): tertile 1 (26-327); tertile 2 (328-450); tertile 3 (451-1251). For women: tertile 1 (76-358); tertile 2 (359-477); tertile 3 (478-1000). The percentage of participants with a self-reported sedentary lifestyle correlates with accelerometer-derived average daily sedentary time across tertiles of sedentary time (P trend, P<.001 for men and P<.002 for women).
