Too Much Sitting and Too Little Exercise: Addressing Chronic Disease in Ageing Populations

中老年澳大利亚人需要更好的治疗2型糖尿病、心脏病、乳腺癌和结肠癌的方法。众所周知，经常锻炼可以改善他们的健康，但到目前为止，这对大多数人来说是困难的。欧文教授和他的团队将通过研究一种减少久坐和更多样的现实生活活动的“活动谱”方法，找到实用的新方法来预防和管理这些慢性病的负担。

Better approaches to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and breast and colon cancer are needed for middle-aged and older Australians. It is well-known that their health can be improved by regular exercising, but this has so far proven to be difficult for the majority. Through researching an ‘activity spectrum’ approach involving less sitting and more-varied real-life activities, Professor Owen and his team will identify practical new ways to prevent and manage the burden of these chronic diseases.
