Stand Up: Your Life Could Depend On It
Standing up more often may reduce your chances of dying within three years, even if you are already physically active, a study of more than 200,000 people published in Archives of Internal Medicine shows. The study found that adults who sat 11 or more hours per day had a 40% increased risk of dying in the next three years compared with those who sat for fewer than four hours a day. This was after taking into account their physical activity, weight and health status.
"These results have important public health implications," said study lead author Dr Hidde van der Ploeg, a senior research fellow at the University of Sydney's School of Public Health. "That morning walk or trip to the gym is still necessary, but it's also important to avoid prolonged sitting. Our results suggest the time people spend sitting at home, work and in traffic should be reduced by standing or walking more."

Re: Stand up: your life could depend on it
Het gaat nieuwsbericht noemt 'adults', maar alleen 45-plussers zijn onderzocht;
Er is gecontroleerd voor tenminste 9 andere factoren die ook (meer?) effect hebben op overlijdenskans;
De totale overlijdenskans lag dik onder de 1% (5405 sterfgevallen in 621695 personen-jaren).
Dan is die "40% increased risk" lang niet zo'n ramp als de onderzoekers doen voorkomen.

Nou, dan zijn jullie voorlopig nog niet van me af, aangezien mijn werk nu voor het merendeel bestaat uit staan! Alleen vandaag al heb ik 4,5 uur gestaan of gelopen.
