Up to nowSitting for 6 hours a day increases the risk of death by 40%"Or"Sitting for a long time will shorten the life as much as smoking"Some research results that sitting for a long time is bad for health has been announced, but research results that the opposite of these" There is no risk that death increases by sitting for a long time " It was newly announced. However, it appears to be conditional.

Regarding 'sitting for a long time', it is thought that the risk of death is higher than it stands up, it is considered bad for health, and such research results have been published actually. This time, the research team divided the contents of "sitting for a long time" into four items of "work", "television viewing", "leisure", "leisure other than watching television", and further "daily walking" "exercise other than walking" As a result of six actions, we investigated the time spent for each. I think that "TV watching" seems to be one of the way to spend leisure time, but because it sometimes keeps sitting for a long time, it is divided as items.

The survey target was 3720 men with no record of cardiac disease and 1412 women totaling 5132 people, the survey started from 1997 to 1999, and data was collected in the range of 13 to 17 years. As a result, 450 people died during the period of the survey subjects, but when examining the time trends of the six actions,There was no correlation between sitting for a long time and the risk of deathAnd that.

However, the research team's point of caution was that many of the people who were the subject of this survey were people in general workers in London who had many opportunities to move their bodies by commuting. According to Mr. Hillston of the research team, "Our research reverses the traditional idea of" having a health risk in sitting for a long time ", but what the content shows is"It does not matter how long we were sitting, but there is a problem with the continuing state of lack of exercise"If you are in the same posture for a long time and the state of low energy consumption continues, even if it is sitting or standing, there is a possibility of adversely affecting your health if it is standing Suggest.

What we are talking about in previous research and this research seems to be opposite, but in shortModerate exercise is necessary for healthIt seems to lead to a very easy-to-understand story.
