London: A new study has revealed that sitting for more than six hours daily could raise risk of early death and cannot be reversed by exercise.
The study said women who sit for more than six hours daily are around 40 percent more likely to die than those sitting for less than three hours a day.
The figure was about 20 percent for men, according to American Cancer Society researchers who looked at 123,000 people’s health over 14 years.
Extended periods of sitting down increases risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and obesity, the study said.
It also stated sitting for extending periods of time can do significant damage to your health that cannot be countered by exercising.
The study was reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
