• Description: Sedentary Behavior (SB) presents a significant risk factor to cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. The time watching television (TV) has been one of the main proxy measures of SB in the domestic setting. Unlike physical activity (PA), SB has still received limited attention globally, and more research is required to a better understanding of the interactions between SB/PA on health outcomes. The aim of study was to investigate associations between TV/PA interactions and cardiometabolic risk factors.
