Add to the growing body of research on the dangers of prolonged sitting a new American Cancer Society (ACS) study which links sitting time with a higher risk of death from all causes. And- exercise doesn’t help offset that risk.
The study, which appears early online in the American Journal of Epidemiology, includes 14 of 22 measured causes of death and 8 of the 10 most common causes of death. The link existed even after adjusting for levels of moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity.
