Computers, not TV, are to blame for an increase in sitting time in the United States, according to new research
Leisure-time computer use increased between 4.8% and 38% for various age groups between 2001 and 2016, said Yin Cao, senior author of the new study and an assistant professor of surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Overall, up to 43% of the US population used a computer for two or more hours a day and up to 25% used a computer for three or more hours each day in 2016.The result of these increases: Teens spent about 8.2 hours a day sitting while adults sat for 6.
"So if you were to replace 30 minutes of sedentary time with 30 minutes of light activity -- a casual stroll down the hall -- you would lower your risk of early death by 17%," he said. Replace 30 minutes of sitting with more vigorous activity, and you lower your risk by 35%. He also found that"short bursts of activity, if you get enough of them across the day, will be enough to lower your risk from sitting all day.
