Physical activity is thought to be important for various health outcomes, but population levels are suspected to be low.
There is a lack of large-scale comparable data with which to assess temporal trends and make between-population comparisons. Continued increases in the use of objective monitoring, especially in longitudinal studies, would be very valuable in public health research, and both self-reported and objective data may help to start developing explanations regarding any observed population differences. There is much scope for more international surveillance of physical activity levels using historically comparable measurement tools, as well as making current data available for reanalysis.
The continued use of objective measurement tools with transparent research protocols and data reduction strategies would also be beneficial for future research.

Received September 27, 2010. Accepted December 22, 2010. Research suggests that sedentary behavior may increase the risk of some chronic diseases. The aims of the study were to examine whether sedentary work is associated with colorectal cancer and to determine whether the association differs by subsite. A total of 918 cases and 1,021 controls participated in a population-based case-control study of colorectal cancer in Western Australia in 2005–2007.

Abstract OBJECTIVE This study examined the association between objectively measured sedentary activity and metabolic syndrome among older adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were from 1,367 men and women, aged ≥60 years who participated in the 2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Sedentary time during waking hours was measured by an accelerometer (<100 counts per minute). RESULTS On average, people spent 9.5 h (65% of wear time) as sedentary.
