Are we to believe that lying down for 8 or more hours a day is essential, but that sitting will send us to an early grave? The possibility can't be ruled out, but I think we need more evidence than correlation among self-reported data (and some of it rather subjective data at that).<br /><br />I also question whether all confounding factors have really been accounted for. For example, it seems quite likely that more of the non-sitting would have occurred outdoors. I wonder if vitamin D levels were the same among the sitters and non-sitters. Or does it make a difference whether you sit down to play chess or to watch American Idol?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
