Too Much Sitting May Raise Heart Failure Risk for Men (Study found even exercise did not compensate for sedentary behavior)
Older men who spend a lot of time sitting around are more likely to face heart failure down the road, a new study shows.
The research included more than 82,000 men between the ages of 45 and 69. Those who spent more time being sedentary outside of work hours, even if they exercised, had a higher risk for heart failure, reported the researchers from Kaiser Permanente Southern California.
Men with low levels of physical activity were 52 percent more likely to develop heart failure than men with higher levels of physical activity.
Those who spent at least five hours per day sitting were 34 percent more likely to develop heart failure than those who spent less than two hours a day sitting. The research is published in the January issue of Circulation: Heart Failure.
