Nothing about what people were actually doing while they were sitting? Watching TV? Staring into space? I don't know how to take something like this seriously (after reading this article in its entirety, not the linked paper)
- comboy 9y agoSeems like a critical piece of information. You could say that people who take frequent brakes from their work to go outdoor and stand there for a while are likely to die younger. That's smokers behavior. If it was random sample from general population then I'm betting on watching TV. Studies seem to suggest that if you are doing a lot of cognitive work it is good for your brain and memory. Apart from the somewhat new trend of standing desks, most jobs that are about thinking are done in a sitting position.
