The study examined over 83,000 adults, revealing prolonged standing could increase the risk of heart-related diseases, contradicting assumptions that standing trumps sitting for health.
Research shows not only is prolonged standing not beneficial for heart health, but it could elevate the risk of circulatory issues, highlighting the complexity of workplace ergonomics.
The findings challenge the notion that sitting is the sole culprit in heart disease, suggesting that prolonged standing may also carry health risks that need investigation.
Observational studies do not confirm direct causes; while standing desks have utility, balancing between sitting and standing should be prioritized for overall health.
