Australia has an ageing population, resulting in more people being diagnosed with dementia. Prolonged sitting - (a behaviour that is very common amongst older adults) may increase the risk of cognitive decline and thus developing dementia. This study aims to further explore the relationship of sitting with dementia and cognitive function by using objective measures of sitting and also to develop programs and resources to reduce prolonged sitting which are informed by consumers.

澳大利亚人口老龄化，导致更多人被诊断为痴呆症。久坐--(这种行为在老年人中很常见)可能会增加认知能力下降的风险，从而患上痴呆症。本研究旨在通过客观的久坐测量，进一步探讨久坐与痴呆症及认知功能的关系，并为消费者提供减少久坐的方案和资源。
