Washington [US], June 18 (ANI): Simon Fraser University has come up with a new study, adding weight to the claim that slow sitting can be dangerous to your health. for six to eight hours a day they had a 12-13 percent increased risk of early death and coronary heart disease, while people who sat for more than eight hours each day increased this to a sobering 20 percent. science teachers Scott Lear and Wei Li of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing, the study was published in the journal Jama Cardiology. After studying people for an average of 11 years, it was found that high measurements of sitting time are associated with an increased risk of early death and cardiovascular disease. While sitting was a problem in all nations, it was especially so in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. According to the study, people who sit the most and are not very physically active had the highest risk – – up to 50% – – while people who sit the most, but at the same time were physically active, had a significant lower risk of about 17 percent.
“For those who sit for more than four hours a day, replacing half an hour of sitting with practice reduces gambling by two percent,” Lear said. He added: “With only one in four Canadians following traffic rules, there is a real door open for people to build their actions and reduce their chances of early death and heart disease.” The study found a specific link in nations with lower incomes, leading researchers to believe that this may be due to the fact that sitting in higher-income countries is usually associated with higher socio-economic status and better paid jobs. Lear noted: “Clinicians need to focus not so much on sitting, but rather on more action, as low-cost mediation can have huge benefits. But while clinicians need to receive the message to counteract sitting with action, people are even more likely to to value their way of life and take their well-being seriously. ” He added: “Our study found that a combination of sitting and inactivity accounted for 8.8% of all deaths, which is close to the contribution of smoking (10.6% in the Lear and Lee study).” a problem that has a remarkably simple solution. Scheduling time to get up from this chair is a great start. ” (ANI)
