Association between sitting time at work and the onset of major depressive episode: a 1-year prospective cohort study using the Bayesian regression.

Long sitting time at work (9.5+ h per day) might be associated with MDE onset among workers. However, the linear association indicated conflicting results. Non-linear associations between sitting time and MDE onset might explain this inconsistency. The evidence for an adverse association between sitting time at work and MDE onset remains inconclusive.
