A new study further confirmed that sedentary may be harmful to health.

Studies conducted by more than 100,000 people in 21 countries found that people who sit 6 to 8 hours a day increased by 12%to 13%of the risk of early death and heart disease, and people who sit more than 8 hours a day increased by 20%. Essence

The study was co -chaired by Scott Lear, a professor of health science at the University of Simon Fisha and Li Wei (Yin), Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

On June 15, the relevant papers were published in the "American Medical Association Magazine -Heart disease".

They conducted an average 11 -year follow -up survey of these individuals and found that sedentary was related to the increase in early death and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Although all countries have the problem of sitting for a long time, low -income and low -income countries are especially.

"The most important suggestion is to minimize the time of sitting." Lear said, "If you have to sit, then do more exercise at other times in the day to offset this risk."

Studies have shown that those who sit the longest and the least active people have the highest risk of illness -up to 50%, while those who are the most active but most active are much lower. Essence

"For those who are sitting for more than 4 hours a day, using exercise to replace half an hour can reduce the risk of 2%." Lear said, "This is an opportunity to increase the activity time to reduce the premature death. And heart disease risk. "

Lear said that clinicians should encourage less sitting and moving, because this is a low -cost intervention measure, which can bring huge benefits.

Lear emphasized that people need to better evaluate their lifestyle and pay attention to physical health.

"Our research found that the number of deaths caused by sedentary and lack of exercise accounted for 8.8%of the total number of deaths. This ratio is close to the number of deaths caused by smoking (in this study, this ratio is 10.6%)."

"This is a global problem, and the solution is very simple. It is a good start to take the time to stand up from the chair." Lear said.
