Sedentary behavior (SB) or sitting is associated with multiple unfavorable health outcomes. Bone tissue responds to imposed gravitational and muscular strain with there being some evidence suggesting a causal link between SB and poor bone health. However, there are no population-based data on the longitudinal relationship between SB, bone change and incidence of fragility fractures. This study aimed to examine the associations of sitting/sedentary behavior (defined as daily sitting time), areal bone mineral density (BMD by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) and incident low trauma (fragility) osteoporotic fractures (excluding hands, feet, face and head)...
