Study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently. Primary outcomes included SB, proxy measures of SB and patterns of accumulation of SB. Secondary outcomes were cardiometabolic health, mental health and body composition. Intervention types were categorised as SB only, physical activity (PA) only, PA and SB or lifestyle interventions (PA\/SB and diet).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of 8087 records, 51 studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of 34\/51 studies showed a reduction of 22\u2005min\/day in sedentary time in favour of the intervention group (95% CI \u221235 to \u22129\u2005min\/day, n=5868). Lifestyle interventions reduced SB by 24\u2005min\/day (95% CI \u221241 to \u22128\u2005min\/day, n=3981, moderate quality) and interventions focusing on SB only by 42\u2005min\/day (95% CI \u221279 to \u22125\u2005min\/day, n=62, low quality). There was no evidence of an effect of PA and combined PA\/SB interventions on reducing sedentary time.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There was evidence that it is possible to intervene to reduce SB in adults.
