A Study of Sedentary Behaviour in the Older Finnish Twin Cohort: A Cross Sectional Analysis

Table 2

Influence of sex and age on sitting time in five different sitting domains in the linear regression model (regression coefficients with 95% confidence intervals). Men were used as the reference sex.

Sitting domain	Coefficient	95% CI	𝑃 value
At work*
Female sex	6.40	0.50, 12.30	0.034
Age per year	−11.92	−12.64, −11.20	0.000
At home watching TV or videos
Female sex	1.10	−2.57, 4.76	0.558
Age	2.28	1.77, 2.79	0.000
At home at the computer
Female sex	−6.70	−9.13, −4.26	0.000
Age	0.52	0.18, 0.87	0.003
In a vehicle
Female sex	−16.86	−19.31, −14.41	0.000
Age	− 1.16	−1.46, − 0.86	0.000
Elsewhere
Female sex	0.93	−1.29, 3.14	0.413
Age	0.74	0.44, 1.05	0.000

 *For those twins who were not working at the moment of survey, sitting time at work was denoted as zero minutes (𝑛=2728).
