| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to examine objectively measured total and self-reported leisure sedentary time among older Canadians by work status. The analysis was based on 1729 older adults (60-79 years) from the 2007/09 and 2010/11 Canadian Health Measures Survey. Work status, functional limitations, smoking, and perceived health were assessed by self-report and waist circumference (WC) was measured. Total sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA) were objectively measured by accelerometer and leisure sedentary activities were assessed by questionnaire. 93.6% of individuals were sedentary for 8 or more hours per day. Measured ST did not differ by work status, while self-reported leisure ST was higher in those not working compared to those working (239 vs. 207 minutes/day, p < 0.05). Correlates of measured ST were fair/poor perceived health (β: 28.76, p < 0.01), smoking (β: 17.12, p < 0.05), high-risk WC (β: 13.14, p < 0.05), and not meeting PA guidelines (β: 35.67, p < 0.001). For self-reported leisure ST, working status (β: 33.80, p < 0.001) and functional limitations (β: 16.31, p < 0.05) were significant correlates. Older adults accumulate substantial ST regardless of their working status and ST is correlated with indicators of health risk. Older adults are an important target population for interventions to reduce ST. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 21. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 March 2015.
All research outputs
#1,801,290
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Preventive Medicine Reports
#236
of 1,707 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,436
of 359,335 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Preventive Medicine Reports
#6
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,707 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,335 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
