It’s recent, from 16 October. You should also know that studies are effectively primary sources that have gone through fresh pairs of eyes and reviews are the trustworthy ones, though that also doesn’t necessarily means this one must be untrustowrthy; it just means that time hasn’t told whether it holds.

    Your description doesn’t match your title or the study at all. This is a terrible YSK. At best it’s a YSK these studies are ongoing.

        For major CVD, when stationary time exceeded 12 h/day, risk was higher by an average of 0.13 (0.10, 0.16) per hour. Sitting time was associated with a 0.15 (0.11, 0.19) higher risk per extra hour. Time spent standing was not associated with major CVD risk.

        Collectively, our findings indicate increasing standing time as a prescription may not lower major CVD risk and may lead to higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk.

        Saying “they don’t do squat” is just a plain lie, and there’s no reason for this to be a YSK

          If your concern was that I didn’t qualify the headline’s area of interest, I just did that. The headline was from the TechCrunch article this link post goes to.

            It doesn’t matter if youre copying another (wrong) headline from a sensationalized article. Your post will be removed anyway as it violates the rules of the sub. There’s no reason everyone should know this, nor did you give a reason.

            There are plenty other reason besides CVD to use a standing desk.
