The relationship between changes in sitting time and mortality in post-menopausal US women
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prolonged sitting is linked to various deleterious health outcomes. The alterability of the sitting time (ST)-health relationship is not fully established however and warrants study within populations susceptible to high ST. METHODS: We assessed the mortality rates of post-menopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) observational study, a 15-year prospective study of post-menopausal women aged 50-79 years, according to their change in ST between baseline and year six. A total of 77 801 participants had information at both times on which to be cross-classified into the following: (i) high ST at baseline and follow-up; (ii) low ST at baseline and follow-up; (iii) increased ST and (iv) decreased ST. Cox regression was used to assess the relationship between all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality with change in ST. RESULTS: At the end of follow-up, there were 1855 deaths. Compared with high ST maintainers, low ST maintainers had a 51 and 48% lower risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, respectively. Reducing sitting also resulted in a protective rate of 29% for all-cause and 27% for cancer mortality. CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight not only the benefit of maintaining minimal ST, but also the utility of decreasing ST in older women, if current levels are high.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
