A life course approach to characterising and predicting inactivity and sedentary behaviour of young adults

不良的活动习惯预计将超过吸烟，成为澳大利亚健康负担的主要可预防原因。不良的活动习惯会增加寿命缩短和许多健康问题的风险，如心脏病，某些癌症和糖尿病。青年期是个人养成生活习惯的重要时期。这项研究将首次详细描述澳大利亚人在20岁出头时的不活动习惯，以及我们在成年前可以针对的因素，以鼓励健康的习惯。

Poor activity habits are expected to overtake smoking as the leading preventable cause of health burden in Australia. Poor activity habits increase the risk for a shorter life and many health problems such as heart disease, some cancers and diabetes. Young adulthood is an important time for individuals to develop their lifestyle habits. This study will provide the first detailed description of the inactivity habits of Australians in their early 20s and factors we can target before adulthood to encourage healthy habits.
