The report said sedentary periods >= 10 minutes were sufficient to cause increased mortality. "(high sedentary time [≥12.5 h/d] and high bout duration [≥10 min/bout]) had the greatest risk for death." I don't think I know anyone who is active on < 10 minute intervals.

Christ, unless I'm missing something that's practically fundamentally incompatible with modern society and just about any intellectual pursuit.

  That is 'average sedentary period', so you can still sit for 30 minutes occasionally. It would pretty much take a standing desk and constant focus on activity to get <10, though.

Sure, but I'm advocating getting your ass up and doing anything but sitting down all day. 10 minute intervals aren't realistic, but I frequently stand up, at least a half dozen times an hour just to stretch.
