"British researchers found that (sitting) bus drivers were twice as likely to die of heart attacks as (standing) trolley operators."
The idea is that bus drivers and trolley operators are similar in all the other important respects (e.g. socio-economic backgrounds).
- therobotking 15y agoMy father was a bus driver and he had a heart attack in his late 50s. The number of men he worked with who also had heart attacks was staggering. When he visits the hospital for his regular check-ups he always meets other bus drivers. It's really quite alarming.

- coldarchon 15y agosry but this is a wrong correlation. this relates to trainers who have a higher chance of a heart attack than players. why? because both get the same amount of adrenaline but the players can work it out with their body. same goes for the bus driver. it's not just the sitting, it's the sitting under stress with no muscles to make use of stress hormones ..
