Over the last 10 years, evidence has emerged that too much sedentary time (e.g. time spent sitting down) has adverse effects on health, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. A considerable amount of media attention has been given to the topic. The current UK activity guidelines recommend that all adults should minimize the amount of time spent being sedentary for extended periods. How best to minimize sedentary behavior is a focus of ongoing research. Understanding the impact of sedentary behaviors on the health of people with stroke is vital as they are some of the most sedentary individuals in society. Implementing strategies to encourage regular, short breaks in sedentary behaviors has potential to improve health outcomes after stroke. Intervention work already conducted with adults and older adults suggests that sedentary behaviors can be changed. A research priority is to explore the determinants of sedentary behavior in people with stroke and to develop tailored interventions.
在过去的 10 年中，有证据表明，久坐时间过长（例如，坐着的时间）对健康有不利影响，包括增加心血管疾病发病率和死亡率的风险。这个话题引起了相当多的媒体关注。目前英国的活动指南建议所有成年人应尽量减少长时间久坐的时间。如何最大限度地减少久坐行为是正在进行的研究的重点。了解久坐行为对中风患者健康的影响至关重要，因为他们是社会上最久坐的人群之一。实施鼓励定期短暂休息久坐行为的策略有潜力改善中风后的健康结果。已经针对成年人和老年人开展的干预工作表明，久坐行为是可以改变的。一个研究重点是探索中风患者久坐行为的决定因素，并制定针对性的干预措施。
