Abstract
People who are physically active as they get older are more likely to remain healthy and independent, whatever their circumstances. High levels of sedentary behaviour are associated with poor health, regardless of how physically active a person is at other points in the day. Although older people spend more time sitting than other age groups, surprisingly little research attention has been devoted to either understanding in detail the link between sedentary behaviour and health or finding out what factors determine how active or sedentary older people are. We have assembled a team of researchers with a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience of working in collaboration with older people to try to unpick these important questions. Our team has been working with two large groups (cohorts) of older people living in and around Edinburgh (since 2004) and Glasgow (since 1987). These people have regularly completed questionnaires about various aspects of their lives and many of them have had detailed assessments of their physical fitness (including grip strength and lung function), their health and their cognitive function (including brain scans).
In the current study, we will ask 750 members of these cohorts to wear a small device for a week that will give us an accurate (objective) measurement of how active and sedentary they are over that period. We will compare our objective measurements with participants' own self-reported estimates of how active and sedentary they have been over the same period (using past cohort questions and current population survey questions) to identify the most accurate survey tool to use in the future. Using these data and the information about these peoples' daily life, activities and health collected during our cohort studies, we will investigate the relationship between previous individual, social and environmental factors and older people's current sedentary and activity levels. We will also examine the effect of being sedentary and largely inactive on a person's health. This will help us identify those people who are most at risk of becoming more sedentary and less active in later life. For example, there is some evidence from the Glasgow group that working class men may be particularly vulnerable to inactivity when they retire.
In addition, we will interview 48 of these cohort members (equal numbers of men and women of different ages and social class who are currently active or inactive) to understand: their views about being sedentary, what they do while they are sitting and how important these activities are to them. We will also ask them about their knowledge about sedentary behaviour and the links between being sedentary and ill health and ways older people might be encouraged to become less sedentary and the barriers that might stop them doing so. We will also understand how receptive different groups of older people (e.g. men vs. women) might be to suggestions about changing their sedentary activities.
Taken together, these views and understandings of the positive and negative aspects of being sedentary will help to design more effective interventions to encourage older people to become less sedentary and more physically active. We will publish and present our findings at international and national conferences and provide recommendations and workshops for professionals on how to develop and tailor support to encourage people to become more physically activity and less sedentary as they age. We will make use of the internet, social media and YouTube brief videos, produce leaflets and host meetings for a wide range of older people and organisations, giving our results and recommendations the best chance to make a positive impact on future research, policy and practice to improve the quality of life of older people.

Technical Summary
Prolonged sitting (sedentary behaviour) is an adverse health behaviour which predicts health risk, independent of other activity behaviours. Interventions aiming to reduce sedentary behaviour require knowledge about the determinants and long- and short-term effects of being sedentary. We will collect objective measures of current patterns of activity and sedentary behaviour (using activPal monitors) in 750 older people (in their 60s, 70s and 80s) from two large cohorts: the West of Scotland Twenty-07 Study and the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936. We will characterise the most sensitive objective and subjective ways of reporting activity behaviour. Cohort members have participated in a wide range of prior investigations (e.g. cognitive tests; questionnaires, including self-reported activity/sitting time; medical examinations; blood tests; brain scans). We will use these longitudinal data to investigate individual, social and environmental determinants of current activity/sedentary behaviours and identify which factors are associated with high risk of sedentary behaviour as people age. We will explore the consistency of associations across the cohorts, and the effect that activity/sedentary behaviour has on subsequent health outcomes. Within a selected subsample (n=48) we will investigate the meaning/relevance/importance of, and attitudes towards, sedentary behaviour. Collectively we aim to produce definitive data on: the determinants of sedentary behaviour; the health/cognitive outcomes of long-term inactivity; the views of older people on becoming less sedentary; and the potential benefits to an older person of sitting less or breaking periods of sedentary behaviour more frequently. We will provide recommendations for tailoring future interventions to change and report on older people's activity behaviour.
Planned Impact
Very few older adults reach the recommended levels of activity for health. In the UK, the estimated direct cost of physical inactivity to the NHS is £10 billion. Most health promotion initiatives have focussed on increasing levels of moderate physical activity or specific forms of exercising for health. Such initiatives could have substantial financial impact: The draft Scottish Charter for Physical Activity reports an economic benefit of £85.2 million if the number of inactive Scots was reduced by 1% each year for the next five years. However, new evidence suggests that too much sitting (sedentary behaviour) is a distinct health risk, independent of other physical activity behaviours and older people spend a great deal of their time sitting.
We aim to advance understanding of the life course determinants of patterns of sedentary and activity behaviour in older adults. We will do this by objectively measuring activity patterns in two large Scottish longitudinal cohorts (with a wide range of socioeconomic status, co-morbidities and age) and determining associations with detailed prior assessments of their physical fitness, health and cognitive function. We will determine the subsequent long term health outcomes of sedentary behaviour alongside older people's views of their own activity histories. This will enable us to impact on future intervention development, particularly in terms of 'who' should be targeted and 'how'. We will be able to inform researchers for future studies and population surveys of the best way to pose self-report questions to give valid and reliable responses, because we will be able to compare such questions with objectively measured activity patterns. This should allow a more accurate report of the activity of the older population and changes in activity over time for policy makers.
By exploring older people's views of the effects of sitting and of the potential strategies that could use to help motivate behaviour change, we will be able to inform the design of interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour in older people. This research will provide useful information to inform guidelines and to inform providers in certain settings (eg. hospital wards) about desirable mobilisation support and encouragement. It will also provide evidence to support older people living independently to make informed changes (eg. standing in TV advert breaks).
The beneficiaries of this research will include older people, researchers, policy makers, service providers and health/social care/fitness professionals. We will train six researchers in new measurement techniques, statistical analysis of longitudinal data, qualitative methods and analyses, as well as dissemination and knowledge exchange strategies. We will work closely with our Dissemination Advisory Group, through reports, recommendations and the internet, to impact on the culture and practice with service providers and professionals working with older people in the NHS, social care, sheltered housing, residential care and the fitness industry and to engage with government as well as non-governmental, third sector and the commercial private sector. The team have strong links with both national and international organisations and initiatives dedicated to increasing physical activity amongst older people that would benefit from the knowledge gained and provision of practice oriented literature, webinars and short video clips to help change culture and knowledge in their areas of expertise. In short, this research has the potential to impact on the Nation's quality of life through encouraging changes in culture and practice, across all the potential beneficiaries, to reduce long periods of sedentary behaviour and move more often.

| Impact | The Functional Fitness MOT (FFMOT) was a tool developed by Glasgow Caledonian University and Later Life Training in 2011 for the Glasgow Science Festival. It was developed into a training programme by the BHF NCPAH in 2013 as a direct response to their audit of leisure professionals and a lack of understanding of the different components of fitness. From Summer 2013 to summer 2014 the training has reached over 350 professionals across the UK. In May 2014 the materials were updated with information on advice to give older people about sedentary behaviour and effects on health and function and in particular the messages that professionals could give to older people to help break up prolonged periods of sitting. Since the rewrite of the resource another 130 professionals have been trained in the FFMOT with the updated information on sedentary behaviour. In the Impact Assessment of the FFMOT training, Pg 19 gives information on the project for people to find out more. Pg 7 shows that new information valued by the people in this training included the significance of breaking up sedentary behaviour. |

| Title | A novel compositional data analysis approach |
| Description | Seb Chastin (GCU) has led on this new approach to large data sets of activity behaviour. Although not using data collected through the MRC Seniors USP study (yet), the approach was developed to further understand the data that will be collected more rigorously (including accurate sleep time) in our study than in previous large datasets such as NHANES. The associations between time spent in sleep, sedentary behaviors (SB) and physical activity with health are usually studied without taking into account that time is finite during the day, so time spent in each of these behaviors are codependent. Therefore, little is known about the combined effect of time spent in sleep, SB and physical activity, that together constitute a composite whole, on obesity and cardio-metabolic health markers. Cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2005-6 cycle on N = 1937 adults, was undertaken using a compositional analysis paradigm, which accounts for this intrinsic codependence. Time spent in SB, light intensity (LIPA) and moderate to vigorous activity (MVPA) was determined from accelerometry and combined with self-reported sleep time to obtain the 24 hour time budget composition. This novel method will be used, alongside traditional methods of analysing sedentary behaviour, to analyse the data gathered from the cohorts in the Seniors USP data to consider determinants of sedentary behaviour. |

| Title | Seniors USP Diary for use with activPAL to accurately report sleeping time |
| Description | The Seniors USP Diary was developed in order to provide an accurate method of self report of sleep time to be able to accurately record sedentary behaviour. This is necessary as without this the activPAL objective monitor will pick up if someone is lying down but not if they are asleep. If they spend time in bed reading or doing other tasks this should be documented as sedentary behaviour and if they are sleeping, as sleep time. The diary was developed by researchers at GCU but then amended following user group feedback (older people) and feedback from the Dissemination Advisory Group, so that ease of use and lack of ambiguity was ensured. The Diary allows people to easily record sleep times for 7 days and also has a section to record self reported sedentary behaviour yesterday (in the middle of the 7 days) and sedentary behaviour in the last week (last 7 days) so that self report can be accurately compared with objective monitoring. |

| Title | Seniors USP Standard Operating Procedures for activPAL (sealing, placement, data downloading, adverse events) |
| Description | The Seniors USP Project spent a lot of time on detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the use of activPAL objective monitors within the two cohorts, especially as one cohort would have multiple research nurses doing home visits and collecting the data from the activPALs away from central support. The relevant SOPs are: B07 activPAL skin reaction; C04 use of activPAL; E05a Visual inspection of WP2 data - fieldworkers; and E05b Visual inspection of WP2 activPAL data - GCU. |

| Title | Seniors USP Training Slides for use of activPAL |
| Description | In order to ensure standardisation within the Twenty 07 cohort research nurses and the LBC1936 cohort research staff and research nurses on the use of the ActivPal with older people, a set of training slides were developed. These include information on charging and programming the monitors, sealing the monitors to make them waterproof, attaching and removing the monitors, downloading data, and conducting a brief visual inspection of the data. Additionally slides were prepared on potential adverse events (skin reaction), frequently asked questions by participants (how to answer them), and common pitfalls of use of the activPAL. |

| Impact | An EU funded project EUROFIT (PI Prof Sally Wyke) requested use of the slides to be adapted for use in their training of their fieldworkers. |
| Title | Seniors USP diary |
| Description | The diary was developed as part of the Seniors USP study (improving upon previous versions developed within the research team), to allow self-reported record of time in bed, and time asleep. The objective measurement of sedentary time should not include time asleep, but determining this automatically from the objective outcome is currently not possible, therefore an accurate self-report of these items is essential. The diary therefore contributes to the data processing of, and reporting of, an outcome measure (time spent sitting). |

| Results and Impact | Bill Turnbull, star of BBC's Breakfast News TV, Strictly Come Dancing, Classic FM etc., came to the Psychology department on 23rd January 2017 with a BBC film crew to find out about the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (LBC1936)/Disconnected Mind study. BBC1 are planning a series in the Spring called 'Holding back the years'. Each programme will feature a celebrity revisiting a place that means a lot to them, and the programmes will have a focus on the processes of human ageing. Mr Turnbull was at the University of Edinburgh in the 1970's (he shared a flat with Gordon Brown for a term!), and so his programme is based here. It was natural that, to find out more about ageing, and with an Edinburgh locus, he and the BBC filming team visited the LBC1936. A busy afternoon's filming was filled with his interviewing LBC1936 Director Ian Deary, speaking with about a dozen of the LBC1936 participants, and seeing and taking part in some cognitive testing. Look out for the series, especially the Edinburgh-based Bill Turnbull programme in a few months' time. |

| Results and Impact | The new Edinburgh Speakers Festival 2016 took place from 9th-11th September and our own CCACE Director was invited to be part of this year's prestigious line-up. Speakers covered a large variety of topics including cognitive ageing, devolution, politics, history, literature, fashion, Islam, capitalism, cycling, RBS, the Lockerbie bombing, whisky and women's equality, but all with a focus on Scotland. Ian's talk was entitled "Understanding Healthy Cognitive Ageing: Scotland's Unique Contribution" and took place on Saturday 10th September. This is what Ian said about the event: "Well" said Disconnected Mind Director Ian Deary, "That's the first time I have been on the same bill as Ken Livingstone and Ruth Davisdson! What an ecclectic programme." Ian spoke on healthy cognitive ageing to an audience at the Edinburgh Speakers Festival. Of course, the LBC1936's results were highlighted, with a focus on the likely protective factors for cognitive ageing. "There was a middle-aged finalist from this year's Brain of Britain Radio 4 show in the audience", said Ian, "so that was a good basis from which to explain how crystallised ability ages pretty well." As usual,the photos of Mr Scott and his brain images went down well with the enthusiastic attendees. |

| Results and Impact | Penicuik U3A discuss healthy cognitive ageing "It's always a good sign when they have to put out extra chairs," said Ian Deary, after his talk on 16th February to Penicuik's branch of the University of the Third Age. "They said they usually get 30-50 people, but I lost count after 60. It's great to see such enthusiasm for hearing about healthy cognitive ageing and the Lothian Birth Cohorts' contribution to that. I encouraged people in the audience to ask any questions as we went along, and they were good at that. However, there were lots more excellent questions and discussions at the end of the talk. They wanted to know the evidence about many things, including genetics, dementia, physical exercise, smoking, sleep and cognitive engagement. I was especially pleased, when I was having my tea and custard cream afterwards, when an audience member congratulated my team on demonstrating reverse causation for some potential factors in cognitive ageing!" We note that Ian cycled to and from Penicuik to give the talk, which we hope contributed a little towards keeping him sharp. |

| Results and Impact | The Seniors USP mini conference was held on 26th October 2017 at the Scottish Government, Edinburgh, UK. It was attended by 50 professionals and policy makers, enabling this audience to make changes in their practice and help disseminate the acquired knowledge on sedentary behavior in older adults (e.g. barriers and facilitators to interrupt sedentary behavior) to a wider public. Pledges on what they would do to change SB in their workplace and in policy terms, in the organisations they work with, were elicited. In Jan 2018 these pledges were reminded to attendees. 22 replied with their actions on their pledges. These included: Working with Care Home staff and managers to get the SB message out into care homes (3 people); Encouraging standing at team meetings (9 people); Working with ward staff to mobilise patients more (8 people), including development of Ward activity Passports in Two hospitals (Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow and Clyde); Working with Dementia Friends to get the message out to people living with Dementia and their carers (2 people); Introduced slides into National Osteoporosis Society Patient Education Sessions across the UK (1 person); updated links (URLs) on intranet (4 people); moving more themselves (22 people). Quote received from participant - I found the day really useful, particularly because I'm used to approaching the topic from a workplace perspective so it shone the topic in a whole new light for me. I've done roughly 25 of the workplace talks, and I'm so keen to re-advertise and roll out a few more sessions like this (if I have capacity in the New Year). In light of yesterday I will re-visit the slides and include a bit of chat about taking the information home to older relatives, as well as getting workers to think about their own health in the future. |

| Results and Impact | The Senior USP Project has a Dissemination Group which includes members of a wide variety of organisations, including charities, health and social care, NHS and older peoples organisations. The group met at the Project Start Up Meeting (see other reporting link) and will meet at 6 months intervals throughout the project lifetime (April 2014-Mar 2017). The next meeting is the 12th November 2014. Remit of the DAG: The Dissemination Advisory Group will: • Ensure that the Project website and documentation is understandable to the wide variety of professionals and lay public it is aimed at • Help advertise amongst their networks to ensure good attendance at the seminars and webinars proposed within the project and aimed at both professionals and older people [M3, M5, M20, M31 and M35] • Feed into the two reports to the MRC on dissemination and impact of the project [M18, M36] • Feed onto the Report to policy makers, national survey leads and academics on most accurate and sensitive self-report measures of SB to use in research and practice [M24] • Feed into the Leaflets for older people and professionals working with older people on the effects of Sedentary Behaviour and advice on breaking patterns of Sedentary Behaviour [M35] • Feed into the Final Summary Report of the research project to all participating cohort members, older volunteers and research partners [M36] • Feed into the Intervention translational manual for researchers and professionals working with older people on lessons learned [M36]. The Dissemination Group gave invaluable feedback on dissemination routes within and outwith their organisations (for organisations see Project Meeting Start Up reporting). They also suggested changes to the Patient Information Sheets and the wording of the sedentary behaviour questions to be used in the project to ensure relevance and understanding in an older population. Changes to the patient information sheet and the questionnaires have been actioned as a result of this meeting. |

The discussed an Age Scotland Blog (which mostly goes to staff members of Age Scotland), an article in their quarterly magazine ADVANTAGE and regular posts on their Facebook and Twitter sites. This and the blog led to a piece being written by Professor Skelton in the Winter Edition of ADVANTAGE (not out at time of this submission but in press). Future activity with Age Scotland is being planned. The talk has led to further discussion with the CEO Brian Sloan, who has now set up an "Active at Work" group within the Age Scotland offices with representation from each of the teams within the Age Scotland head office. We are currently in discussion about a Partnership Agreement between GCU and Age Scotland. The talk also led to an invitation to give 4 one hour sessions to all staff on the need for physical activity and avoidance of long periods of sitting, at work and with the people they work with (older people). |

| Results and Impact | We submitted a short piece to AGILITY - AGILE is a Professional Network of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and is for therapists working with older people. This one page article introduced the health effects of sedentary behaviour on older people and asked the question whether physiotherapists were giving consistent messages about breaking up of long periods of sitting and moving more often. It also introduced the Seniors USP project. The readership of AGILITY is 600 physiotherapists working with older people in the UK. Only old issues are available online, however a URL to the home page of the journal is given below. This brief piece led to a request from Agility Editor to write a longer piece and explain a bit more about the project. This longer article is due for the Winter Edition 2014. |

| Results and Impact | Jenny Ackland, one of Age Scotland's Allied Health Professionals, talks us through the research and why, even with a background in health, she was surprised by just how much of an impact sedentary behaviour can have on our physical and mental wellbeing. She highlighted the Seniors USP project and encouraged Age Scotland workers to sit less and be more active as well as encouraging the older people they work with to do the same. This stimulated the invitation to write a piece for ADVANTAGE, the quarterly Age Scotland Magasine for older people - due out in the Winter Edition 2014. Age Scotland office staff have been sitting for less time and incorporating more standing work opportunities. Age Scotland have suggested that the first step is just to take notice of the amount of sitting that the staff all do in a working day and think about how they can be more active. They suggested making a point of standing up when they answer the phone or have standing or walking meetings. One Team member was particularly enthusiastic - from the Men in Sheds Team - and encouraged the Men in her scheme to create a Standing Desk for Jenny, which she now uses. |

Although the talk also covered strength and balance most of the discussion was around the sedentary behaviour part of the talk. I had 5 emails from people saying it had made them change their practice and they were working more closely with nursing colleagues to mobilise patients more and one physiotherapist wrote to ask if there were ay postgraduate opportunities to work in sedentary behaviour. |

| Results and Impact | This 1.5 hour free access webinar was streamed live on the lunchtime of the 27th August 2014. People had to register to gain access but the event was free and they were able to attend from their desk at work or home rather than travel into the University. The webinar covered the emerging health effects of sedentary behaviour in older people (Skelton), introduced the Seniors USP project and team (Skelton), discussed new research on sedentary behaviour in Stroke Patients (Mead), discussed potential interventions that might help motivate people to break up long periods of sitting (Gray). 106 people attended the webinar live. They ranged from the public (older people, charities working with older people) to professionals (health and social care, companies, leisure industry), researchers (academic and clinical) and policy makers (Scottish Government, Age Platform EC, European Unions EIP AHA). The reach was mostly UK Wide but there were attendees from Poland, Portugal and Greece. Since the live event, the link is available for people to watch On Demand and to date an additional 44 people have viewed the seminar and 60 people have book-marked it. It was well advertised on a variety of websites hosted by our Seniors USP Dissemination Group (eg. http://ssscnews.uk.com/events/get-go-sitting-bad-older-people/) We were contacted by the Coalition of Care and Support Providers Scotland about joining the Dissemination Group. We were asked by Age Scotland to write an article in their quarterly magazine for older people. We were asked if there was going to be any future seminars or webinars that people could attend and this included both organisations (notably NHS boards) and individuals. Considerable Facebook activity on Age Scotland, Go For Gold (Care Inspectorate and BHF NCPAH), World Congress on Active Ageing, Later Life Training, PalTechnologies and Use It or Lose It Facebook sites about how good it was and encouraging people to register and view it on demand afterwards. We were contacted also by Ilenia Gheno, Research Project Manager at AGEPlatformEurope,the European platform for older people, based in Brussels. She invited us to get involved in the platform and to find out more about an EC funded project DOREMI which links the issues of sedentariness with malnutrition and cognitive decline. |

| Results and Impact | The seniors USP study launched with a two day inaugural meeting. Academic collaborators in the project spoke about the project, to an audience of peers and members of the study dissemination advisory group. There were also group discussions on the wider topic of sedentary behaviour. The dissemination advisory group consists of health professionals and professionals from other organisations, with a remit for providing care or advice to older adults. The presentations initiated lively debate amongst the attendees, increasing awareness of the topic and its impact. Members of the dissemination advisory group reported increased understanding of the study and the background of sedentary behaviour. They committed to dissemination of ideas about sedentary behaviour, and the Seniors USP project within and using their organisations. Group members requested additional resources to facilitate that wider dissemination. A number of individuals suggested they would try to change their own behaviour to reduce prolonged sitting. |

| Results and Impact | Sittonomy asked the public to label different scene of sedentary behaviour presented to them as random pictures of everyday living from a large databse in their own language and with their own view. To date sittonomy has collected over 50000 labels which form a taxonomy generated by folks (folksonomy). In parallel the project engaged 120 experts internaitonally to develop an expert xonsensus taxonomy. This taxonomy has been adopted by the Joint European Initiative on Diet and Physical Activity action on determinants of diet and physical activity www.dedipac.eu. Several conferences presentation were delivered in 2012-2014 about this project and the first results published in PLOS One as the project required that the result be publish in open access journal. There has been a lot of different impact from sittonomy. It has allowed us to engage the public of all ages in research on sedentary behaviour and raise awareness about sedentary behaviour. We also engaged with a lot of different organisation via social media and the project currently has over 400 followers on twitter. The taxonomy has been adapted as standard to harmonise and plan future european research by the European Joint Initiative on the Determinants of Diet and Physical Actitvity. Ultimately the mixing of expert consensus and folksonomy aim at bringing a common language and terminology between researcher and the public. Similar project are planned for other health behaviour. |

| Results and Impact | The Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (LBC1936) got a good airing on BBC Radio Scotland on Sunday 26th February 2017. LBC1936 participant Margaret Macintosh and Study Director Ian Deary were interviewed by presenter Cathy MacDonald on the programme Sunday Morning With... "Cathy MacDonald was clearly very taken with the uniqueness and long-term nature of the LBC1936 sample and the importance and range of the findings", said Ian, "and so a piece that was planned to be 5-10 minutes long ran for about 20 minutes. It was great to hear Margaret's enthusiasm for the project, her reflections on what we do, and what we might add to the study." The radio piece was stimulated by the front-page article in The Times on 21st February 2017 which discussed the study on personality stability that was conducted on the LBC1936's sister study, the 6-Day Sample. |
