Health systems and services

Sedentary behavior has become one of the most pressing public health and societal challenges of modern life. Rapid technological change, urbanization, digitalization, and population ageing have reshaped how people learn, work, and interact, often at the cost of movement and active living. Sedentary Lifestyle – A Multidisciplinary Perspective offers a comprehensive and timely exploration of this global phenomenon, examining its determinants, consequences, and solutions across the life course. Bringing together insights from public health, behavioral science, psychology, gerontology, and social sciences, this volume addresses sedentary lifestyle as a complex, multidimensional issue shaped by socio-cultural environments, digital habits, mental health, emotional resources, and structural conditions.
