Mindfulness training for reducing sitting at work

Mindfulness training versus no intervention for reducing sitting at work
Patient or population: employees who sit at work Settings: workplace Intervention: mindfulness training Comparison: no intervention
Outcomes	Illustrative comparative risks* (95% CI)		Relative effect (95% CI)	No of participants (studies)	Quality of the evidence (GRADE)	Comments
	Assumed risk	Corresponding risk
	No intervention	Mindful training
Time spent sitting at work /day Self‐reported questionnaires Follow‐up: median 6 months	The mean time spent in sitting at work in the control group was 295 minutes2	The mean time spent in sitting at work in the intervention groups was 2 minutes less (22 less to 18 more)		257 (1 study)	⊕⊕⊝⊝ low1
Time spent sitting at work /day Self‐reported questionnaires Follow‐up: median 12 months	The mean time spent in sitting at work in the control groups was 316 minutes2	The mean time spent in sitting at work in the intervention groups was 16 minutes less (45 less to 12 more)		257 (1 study)	⊕⊕⊝⊝ low1
*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). CI: confidence interval
GRADE Working Group grades of evidence High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate

¹ Risk of bias high due to unconcealed allocation and unblinded outcome assessment, downgraded with two levels
