People who are physically active as they get older are more likely to remain healthy and independent, whatever their circumstances. High levels of sedentary behaviour are associated with poor health, regardless of how physically active a person is at other points in the day. Although older people spend more time sitting than other age groups, surprisingly little research attention has been devoted to either understanding in detail the link between sedentary behaviour and health or finding out what factors determine how active or sedentary older people are. We have assembled a team of researchers with a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience of working in collaboration with older people to try to unpick these important questions. Our team has been working with two large groups (cohorts) of older people living in and around Edinburgh (since 2004) and Glasgow (since 1987). These people have regularly completed questionnaires about various aspects of their lives and many of them have had detailed assessments of their physical fitness (including grip strength and lung function), their health and their cognitive function (including brain scans).In the current study, we will ask 750 members of these cohorts to wear a small device for a week that will give us an accurate (objective) measurement of how active and sedentary they are over that period. We will compare our objective measurements with participants' own self-reported estimates of how active and sedentary they have been over the same period (using past cohort questions and current population survey questions) to identify the most accurate survey tool to use in the future. Using these data and the information about these peoples' daily life, activities and health collected during our cohort studies, we will investigate the relationship between previous individual, social and environmental factors and older people's current sedentary and activity levels. We will also examine the effect of being sedentary and largely inactive on a person's health. This will help us identify those people who are most at risk of becoming more sedentary and less active in later life. For example, there is some evidence from the Glasgow group that working class men may be particularly vulnerable to inactivity when they retire.In addition, we will interview 48 of these cohort members (equal numbers of men and women of different ages and social class who are currently active or inactive) to understand: their views about being sedentary, what they do while they are sitting and how important these activities are to them. We will also ask them about their knowledge about sedentary behaviour and the links between being sedentary and ill health and ways older people might be encouraged to become less sedentary and the barriers that might stop them doing so. We will also understand how receptive different groups of older people (e.g. men vs. women) might be to suggestions about changing their sedentary activities. Taken together, these views and understandings of the positive and negative aspects of being sedentary will help to design more effective interventions to encourage older people to become less sedentary and more physically active. We will publish and present our findings at international and national conferences and provide recommendations and workshops for professionals on how to develop and tailor support to encourage people to become more physically activity and less sedentary as they age. We will make use of the internet, social media and YouTube brief videos, produce leaflets and host meetings for a wide range of older people and organisations, giving our results and recommendations the best chance to make a positive impact on future research, policy and practice to improve the quality of life of older people.

随着年龄的增长，身体活跃的人更有可能保持健康和独立，无论他们的情况如何。无论一个人在一天中其他时间的运动量如何，久坐行为与健康状况不佳有关。尽管老年人比其他年龄段的人花更多的时间坐着，但令人惊讶的是，很少有研究关注详细了解久坐行为与健康之间的联系，或找出哪些因素决定老年人的活跃程度或久坐程度。我们组建了一个研究团队，他们拥有广泛的知识、技能和与老年人合作的经验，试图解开这些重要的问题。我们的团队一直在与居住在爱丁堡（自 2004 年以来）和格拉斯哥（自 1987 年以来）及其周边地区的两大老年人群体（群体）合作。这些人定期完成有关其生活各个方面的调查问卷，其中许多人对自己的身体健康（包括握力和肺功能）、健康状况和认知功能（包括脑部扫描）进行了详细评估。在当前的研究中，我们将要求这些群体中的 750 名成员佩戴一个小型设备一周，这将让我们准确（客观）测量他们在此期间的活跃程度和久坐程度。我们将把我们的客观测量结果与参与者自己报告的对同一时期的活跃程度和久坐程度的估计进行比较（使用过去的队列问题和当前的人口调查问题），以确定未来使用的最准确的调查工具。利用这些数据以及我们在队列研究期间收集的有关这些人的日常生活、活动和健康的信息，我们将调查以前的个人、社会和环境因素与老年人当前的久坐和活动水平之间的关系。我们还将研究久坐和基本不活动对人的健康的影响。这将帮助我们识别哪些人在以后的生活中最有可能变得更加久坐和不太活跃。例如，格拉斯哥小组的一些证据表明，工薪阶层男性在退休时可能特别容易缺乏运动。此外，我们还将采访其中的 48 名队列成员（不同年龄和社会阶层、目前活跃或不活跃的男女人数相同），以了解：他们对久坐的看法、他们坐着时做什么以及这些活动对他们来说有多重要。我们还将询问他们对久坐行为的了解以及久坐与健康不佳之间的联系，以及鼓励老年人减少久坐的方法以及可能阻止他们这样做的障碍。我们还将了解不同老年人群体（例如男性与女性）对改变久坐活动的建议的接受程度。总而言之，这些对久坐的积极和消极方面的观点和理解将有助于设计更有效的干预措施，以鼓励老年人减少久坐并加强身体活动。我们将在国际和国家会议上发表和展示我们的研究结果，并为专业人士提供建议和研讨会，讨论如何制定和定制支持，以鼓励人们随着年龄的增长增加体力活动，减少久坐。我们将利用互联网、社交媒体和 YouTube 简短视频，为广大老年人和组织制作传单并举办会议，使我们的结果和建议有机会对未来改善老年人生活质量的研究、政策和实践产生积极影响。
