A recent study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people
who spend most of their days in a job that requires sitting have a higher mortality rate
than those whose jobs require more movement. The study found that even for people
who exercise regularly, spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful.
The study found that within four hours of sitting, the body begins to send harmful
signals and the genes that regulate glucose and fat begin to shut down. The researchers
suggest that even small movements such as standing to watch a child's soccer game or
pacing while talking on the phone can make a big difference. While most consider this
an individual problem, the obesity-related illnesses caused by too much sitting have a
social impact in terms of health care availability and health care costs for all citizens.
