      For major CVD, when stationary time exceeded 12 h/day, risk was higher by an average of 0.13 (0.10, 0.16) per hour. Sitting time was associated with a 0.15 (0.11, 0.19) higher risk per extra hour. Time spent standing was not associated with major CVD risk.

      Collectively, our findings indicate increasing standing time as a prescription may not lower major CVD risk and may lead to higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk.

      Saying “they don’t do squat” is just a plain lie, and there’s no reason people “should know they dont do squat”.

        If your concern was that I didn’t qualify the headline’s area of interest, I just did that. The headline was from the TechCrunch article this link post goes to.

          It doesn’t matter if youre copying another (wrong) headline from a sensationalized article. Your post will be removed anyway as it violates the rules of the sub. There’s no reason everyone should know this, nor did you give a reason.

          There are plenty other reason besides CVD to use a standing desk.
