Standing desks may be bad for your health, study suggests
Briefly

A study involving 80,000 UK adults found standing desks may increase the risk of conditions like deep vein thrombosis and do not reduce cardiovascular diseases.
Dr. Matthew Ahmadi indicates that those who stand or sit for long periods should incorporate regular movement into their daily routines to maintain circulatory health.
The research highlighted that standing for over two hours could potentially increase the risk of venous issues, contradicting the belief that it aids in cardiovascular health.
Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis stated that for every additional 30 minutes standing beyond two hours, circulatory disease risk increased by 11%, underlining the risks of prolonged standing.
