Two recent studies suggest that while standing desks offer some improvements in cardiovascular and metabolic health, the overall benefits in preventing adverse health outcomes remain unclear.
Prolonged standing can pose its own health risks, and the distinction between standing versus sitting may not adequately address the more significant issue of inactivity.

Even minor improvements in health markers from standing desks have been called into question, with skepticism about whether standing is truly beneficial given its stationary nature.
