    Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the independent association between time spent on sedentary activity, either objectively measured or self-reported and IR proxy measures in European adolescents. Methods: A subset (n=1,097) of a large multicentre European study in adolescents (HELENA-CSS study) was used in the present study. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-IR was calculated. Serum concentrations of glucose (GF) and insulin (IF) were measured after an overnight fast. The HOMA-IR was calculated as IF (μlU/mL) × GF (mmol/l)/22.5 (to convert IF values in μlU/mL to pmol/l multiply by 6.945) sedentary time and the time spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was objectively measured by using accelerometers. Moreover, the daily minutes spent on sedentary activities were recorded through a self-report.. View More»
