Take Active Breaks From Sitting (TABS): Reducing Sedentary Time in Older Adults
The investigators are doing a study to learn how to support patients aged 60+ in taking more
breaks from sitting and reducing total sitting time. The goal of the study is to find out if
a sitting time reduction intervention reduces sitting time compared with a control group.
breaks from sitting and reducing total sitting time. The goal of the study is to find out if
a sitting time reduction intervention reduces sitting time compared with a control group.
More than one-third of American adults over 60 have a body mass index > 30 kg/m2. These older
adults have more sedentary time than any other group -- an average of 10-11 hours per day.
Reducing the sedentary behavior of older adults with obesity, rather than only promoting more
intensive physical activity, could provide a more feasible approach to health promotion.
This randomized control pilot trial will evaluate a 12-week intervention to decrease sitting
time and increase standing time and light physical activity among sedentary older adults a
body mass index > 30 kg/m2 as compared to control group. Baseline and 12-week measurements
include anthropometric measures, blood draw by finger stick, cardiovascular health
assessments, physical function tasks, and a survey. The intervention will consist of two
in-person visits with a health coach followed by phone-based coaching.
