More time spending in sitting is related to the cause of cardiovascular disease

A cohort study is published in the U.S. mentioning that prolonged leisure-time sitting (6+ vs <3 hours/day) is associated with higher risk of not only cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease and stroke-specific mortality),  but also cancer, diabetes, kidney disease and other diseases.

This cohort study includes 127,554 men and women who were free of major chronic disease at study entry and among whom 48,784 died during 21 years follow-up, and supports that encouraging individuals to reduce sedentary time may provide health benefits.

Premier Heart's  MCG is an easy test to check the condition of your heart. Because MCG is non-invasive test, it is beneficial for the people who have no symptom but spend longer time in sitting in their lifestyle.

For the details of the study, please refer to the article from here.
