Spending large amounts of time sitting or lounging around during the day is linked to around 50,000 deaths per year in the United Kingdom. In addition, the UK National Health Service (NHS) spends in excess of £0.7 billion (RM3.78bil) per year treating the health consequences.
This is suggested by research from Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University, both in the UK, published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.
