Standing at work can be detrimental to blood pressure
Briefly

The study reveals that prolonged standing at work negatively impacts 24-hour blood pressure, while increased sitting time is linked to improved blood pressure levels.
This research suggests that working hours' physical activity behavior influences blood pressure more than recreational activity, indicating workplace habits might play a critical role in cardiovascular health.
The Finnish Retirement and Aging study highlighted how continuous blood pressure monitoring over 24 hours offers a clearer understanding of cardiovascular strain than single measurements.
Consistent moderate, vigorous exercise is vital for lowering blood pressure, with leisure time activity proving more beneficial for heart health than workplace physical activity.
