activity / wk. examples: talking on the phone, commuting, working on the computer,
video games, reading a book
Sedentary Behaviour - Answer Sitting (or lying down), involving < 2 MET (metabolic
equivalent)
Framework for creating public health policy using Sedentary Behaviour Research (its
new) - Answer Epidemiology -> (hypothesis generation) -> Clinical ->
(Efficacy/effectivness) -> translational -> public health policy making
Canadian Sedentary Behavior Giudelines (Children 5-11) - Answer should minimize the
time they spend being sedentary, achieved by:
- limiting recreational screen time to NO MORE THAN 2 HRS / Day;
- limiting sedentary (motorized) transport, extended sitting and time spent indoors
throught the day
what counts on being sedentary? - Answer sedentary behavior is when children are
doing very little physical movment. Examples:
- sitting for long periods
- using motorized transportation (such as bus or car)
- watching television
- playing passive video games
- playing on the computer
spending less time being sedentary can help children: - Answer - maintain a healthy
body weight
,- do better in school
- improve their self-confidence
- improve their fitness
- have more time to learn new skills
Accelerometers - Answer -objective measurement for reserch
- small, lightweight, unobtrusive
- record the time, duration, frequency and intensity of movment in one-minute epochs
accelerometers are usually placed where on the body? - Answer - thigh
-ankle
sedentary time in the US population (NHANES) - Answer typically females are more
sedentary than males and the older you ger the more sedentary you get
how adult's overall daily behavior patterns typucally between physically active and
sedentary time - Answer - moderate to vigorous activities: 0.7 hrs/day
- light intesnsity activities: 6.5 hrs/day
- sedentary time: 9.3 hrs/day

increasing
New Paradigm - Answer reducing sedentary activity
the second screen is booming as ____ often or always use devices while watching TV -
Answer 45% ; watching another screen while watching TV
MEN: TV time and physical activity - Answer related to obesity, ___ place to be:
worst: high TV watcher/ minimal physical activity
best: low TV watching / high hrs of Physical Activity/wk

physical activity
what is cancer? - Answer uncontrolled abnormal cell growth and proliferation
what can cause cancer? - Answer risk factors and probability have helped our
understanding of cancers
Heredity (immune dysfunction) abnormal metabolism are all ________ causes of cancer?
- Answer Internal, because they conclude to how body reacts to body
Smoking, sedentary lifestyle, pollution, radiation exposure care all ________ causes of
cancer? - Answer external: how the body reacts to environment
all genes can be expressed differently depending on internal /external, where cancer
can - Answer act alone or in synergy over time
why might interactions between environment and genetics is a potential trigger for
cancerous cells changes? - Answer because the body might carry genes (heredity) but
the expression of the cancerous growth might require an external (environmental)
factor to trigger this growth
cancer is ___ leading cause of death in the US in 2017, where only ___-___% of cancers
are linked to hereditary - Answer 2nd ; 10-15%
- all others are external factors
is cancer preventable? - Answer Yes. cancer is preventable because most cancers are
due to external factors
cancer causing external factor examples - Answer - Overweight
- Obesity
- Physical inactivity
- Unhealthy eating
- Smoking
____% of total US deaths from cancer were related to lifestyle factors - Answer 45%
why is cancer death rate predicted to rise globally? - Answer Cancer is a disease of age
Direct conomic cost of cancer - Answer hospital/ medication, salary of
