Findings:

• The findings showed that people with the greatest amount of sedentary time more than 13 hours per day.
• And who frequently had sedentary bouts of at least 60 to 90 consecutive minutes.
• Furthermore,had a nearly two-fold increase in death risk.
• Compared with those who had the least total sedentary time and the shortest sedentary bouts.
• Conversely, people who kept most of their sitting bouts to less than 30 minutes had the lowest risk of death.
• So if you have a job or lifestyle where you have to sit for prolonged periods of time.
• We suggest taking a movement break every half hour.
• This one behaviour change could reduce your risk of death.
• The study adds to the growing literature on how dangerous long periods of sitting are for our health.
• And underscores a growing awareness among clinicians and researchers that sitting really is the new smoking.
• For the study, the team used hip-mounted activity monitors to objectively measure inactivity during waking time over a period of seven days in 7,985 adults over age 45.
• We need creative ways to ensure that we not only cut back on the total amount we sit.
• but also increase regular interruptions to sitting with bursts of activity,Expert added.
