Figure 1.

The hazard ratios of NCDs for sedentary time higher than 6 h/day compared with less than 2 h/day. Each box of forest plot indicates the hazard ratios and confidence interval for individual NCD. The models were adjusted for age (timescale), sex, ethnicity, Townsend Deprivation Index, employment status, educational attainment, smoking status, alcohol intake and BMI. Multivariate models for specific disorders for female (breast, cervix, endometrium and ovary cancer) were additionally adjusted for menopause status and hormone replacement therapy. All P values were corrected for multiple testing by using the Bonferroni's method (P < 0.0011).
