Abstract
In this chapter, we highlight our specific experience in conducting and reporting an overview of systematic reviews about sedentary behavior and health outcomes. In this overview, we aimed to cover all types of sedentary behavior, health outcomes, and age groups, taking into account the methodological quality of the systematic reviews. We hope to contribute to the discussion of methodological aspects of overviews of systematic reviews for prevention and health, especially on emerging determinants of health, where there is little conceptual or methodological uniformity between studies.
