YIKES! 433K People Die Every Year Because From Sitting for Too Long
A new study found that sitting for more than three hours per day is responsible for 3.8% of all deaths worldwide every year… that’s 433,000 people.
Researchers looked at data collected from 54 countries between 2002 and 2011.
They found that more than 60% of the world’s population sits for more than three hours per day, with the average being approximately 4.7 hours.
Researchers found that eliminating sitting could increase overall life expectancy by 0.2 years. Reducing daily sitting time by two hours could decrease an individual’s mortality by 2.4%.
