Experts issue health warning to anyone who uses a standing desk
Briefly

"A new study of more than 80,000 UK adults found that standing does not reduce the risk of diseases such as stroke and heart failure..."
"Scientists have now warned that the desks do not compensate for being inactive and may actually increase the risk of developing conditions such as swollen veins and blood clots in the legs."
"The researchers said people who sit or stand for long periods should schedule regular movement throughout the day."
"Dr Matthew Ahmadi, of the University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine and Health in Australia, said: The key takeaway is that standing for too long will not offset any other health risks associated with prolonged inactivity."
