http://www.juststand.org/Portals/3/images/JustStandInfoGraphicV3.png The 2010 American Cancer Society study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology followed 123,216 individuals 69,776 woman and 53,440 men from 1993 to 2016. The alarming results: People who were inactive and sat over 6 hours a day were 94% more likely to die during the time period studied than those who were physically active and sat less than 3 hours a day. Findings were independent of physical activity levels the negative effects of sitting were just as strong in people who exercised regularly. A January 2008 British Journal of Sports Medicine article suggests that people who sit for long periods of time have an increased risk of disease.
