Previously repeatedly stated that a sedentary lifestyle is dangerous to human health – it was even called a risk factor for early mortality.

A new study conducted in Canada, has led scientists to the conclusion that a sedentary lifestyle is in fact associated with different risks for men is to a large extent determined by the state of overall health.

The authors of the project, employees of the University of Dahlhaus in Nova Scotia, concluded that a sedentary lifestyle can be a factor in premature death for a certain category of people. In this group, according to scientists, are middle-aged and elderly people, a history which already has a lot of health problems. This category of persons experts have called “fragile”.

Unlike them, active and moving a lot of people do not suffer from a prolonged sitting position, in favor of specialists. “People with the lowest value in the index “fragility” had a pronounced risk of premature death due to sedentary lifestyle”, — they reported on the findings of this report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

The researchers analyzed data obtained during the ten year observation of the health of more than 3 thousand people aged 50 years and older in the United States.

They found that almost any physical activity reduces the indicators of fragility of the body and reduces the harmful effects from prolonged sitting and hanging out. Scientists said that even rise to his feet and the movement can be useful for “fragile” people.
