Bethesda, MD
Description
In 2013, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging (NIA) convened a series of workshops that included basic, epidemiological, clinical and intervention-research experts in sedentary behavior, to help develop research recommendations for cardiovascular disease prevention and management, and healthy aging.
Background/Rationale
Based on current reports of insufficient levels of population adherence to current evidence-based physical activity guideline recommendations, and on the emergence of recent epidemiological and laboratory data suggesting independent, detrimental health effects of sedentary behavior, the workshop participants sought to identify research gaps that could be addressed by the NHLBI and NIA research portfolios.
