The experts came to the conclusion that people with sedentary work are more prone to premature death.
“The new Smoking” is called the traditional office work by scientists from Columbia University. Fresh research suggests that employees who sit all day at a Desk, are exposed to twice the risk of premature death, even if they exercise regularly.
According to The Independent, to come to such conclusions, the researchers studied the motor activity of the 8,000 office workers over 45 years of age, who, at their request, wore on the thigh accelerometer. For a 10-day observation period, the researchers found that on average, the subjects sit still for 12.3 hours for 16 hours of daily activity. It is on average 77% of the time awake.
Track the success of participants in the experiment four years later, the study authors found that those who spent more time in a sitting position, more likely dead, even with mitigating factors such as spent on training time.
To avoid the threat, the researchers recommend that people who tend to sit for a long time to come out from behind the Desk and stretch every 30 minutes.
