The likelihood of dying early increases gradually when spending 7.5 to 9 hours per day sitting, researchers found. The threat increases more steeply after 9.5 hours of sitting per day. Those spending 12 hours per day sitting down had nearly three times the chance of dying early compared to those who sat for 7.5 hours per day. Experts at Leicester University who reviewed of evidence from 10 international studies found sitting duration has increased since lockdown.
