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，导致更多的人被诊断患有痴呆症。长时间坐着-（一种在老年人中非常常见的行为）可能会增加认知能力下降的风险，从而发展为痴呆症。本研究旨在通过使用客观的坐姿测量方法进一步探讨坐姿与痴呆症和认知功能的关系，并开发计划和资源，以减少消费者告知的久坐。
