(HealthDay News) According to a recent study, people can make up for hours spent sitting by doing active exercise for a few minutes each week.
According to the findings, people who spend eight hours a day or more sitting down can reduce their risk of dying overall, and particularly their risk of dying from heart disease, by engaging in at least 140 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity.
According to senior researcher Sandra Albrecht, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, “particularly for individuals whose life circumstances necessitate prolonged sitting in particular, such as drivers or office workers,” these results highlight the significance of encouraging people to exercise once a week.
Researchers looked at information from over 6,300 diabetics who took part in the yearly National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018 in order to conduct this study.
Lead researcher Wen Dai, a doctoral student in epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School in New York City, stated that “managing the elevated mortality risk in this high-risk population is particularly pressing given the widespread diabetes epidemic and the tendency among adults with diabetes to sit more and move less.”
