Standing Up More May Not Cut Risk for Cancer Death Will Pass

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/standing-more-may-not-cut-risk-cancer-death-2026a1000ytx?src= Standing up is not enough. Taking breaks from long stretches of sitting is not, on its own, associated with a lower risk of dying from cancer, but replacing that sitting time with physical activity is, an accelerometer study of more than 91,000 adults showed. Over more than a decade of follow-up, cancer death occurred in 2.8% of participants in the highest quartile of daily sedentary time compared with 1.3% in the lowest quartile, reported senior author Frederick K. Ho, PhD, of the University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland. However, a model suggested that trading an hour of prolonged sitting for an hour of interrupted sitting was not associated with lower cancer mortality.
