A recent study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology suggests that standing for extended periods may not offer long-term cardiovascular benefits and could increase the risk of circulatory issues, such as deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins. The study, which analyzed data from 83,013 UK adults over seven to eight years, found that for every additional 30 minutes spent standing beyond two hours, the risk of circulatory disease increased by 11 percent. Researchers recommend incorporating regular movement throughout the day for people who are regularly sedentary or stand for extended periods to mitigate these risks and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
