Get Up! How a Sedentary Life Can Bring on an Early Death
But, are these results conclusive?
While the researchers would love to provide comprehensive evidence and statistics regarding the increased risks, the threats associated with the duration were harder to synthesize. However, the study shows that those who sat for shorter periods than 30 minutes at a time had approximately a 55% lower risk of death compared to those who sat for more than that amount per stretch. Participants who would often sit for over 90 minutes at once presented nearly double the risk of death than those who rarely sat for that amount of time.
