About The Study: This study identified a promising trend of declining sedentary behavior among U.S. adults between 2013 and March 2020, but this decline was hampered in 2021-2023. Sedentary lifestyle was widely exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this study highlights the enduring impact that this global pandemic may have on daily living patterns.
