Quarter Of American Adults Sit For More Than Eight Hours Each Day

reports researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that a quarter of “American adults sit for more than eight hours a day.” For the study, researchers “analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES.” The findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study’s lead author, Emily Ussery, an epidemiologist in the CDC’s division of nutrition, physical activity and obesity, said, “If a person does sit for eight hours a day for their job, it’s best to reduce some of that sitting time with physical activity, and every little bit of exercise helps.” http://time.com/5459319/americans-sit-too-much/
