Standing more may not reduce cardiovascular disease risk, could increase circulatory issues

Standing desks have become a popular trend among office workers and individuals in various industries who are looking to combat the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Standing has been touted as a way to increase physical activity and reduce the risks associated with prolonged sitting. However, recent research from the University of Sydney has shed light on the potential drawbacks of standing for extended periods.

The study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, found that standing more compared to sitting does not necessarily improve cardiovascular health over the long term. In fact, prolonged standing could increase the risk of circulatory issues such as varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. The research also highlighted that sitting for over 10 hours a day was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and orthostatic circulatory issues.

Lead author Dr. Matthew Ahmadi emphasized the importance of finding a balance between standing and sitting to maintain cardiovascular health. He cautioned that standing for too long may not offset the risks of a sedentary lifestyle and could potentially be harmful for certain individuals. Instead, incorporating regular movement throughout the day and engaging in structured exercise are recommended strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, Director of the Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub, echoed Dr. Ahmadi’s sentiments by emphasizing the importance of incorporating incidental movement and exercise into daily routines. He advised individuals to take regular breaks, engage in physical activities like walking meetings or using the stairs, and make use of lunch breaks for movement.

Previous research by Professor Stamatakis and Dr. Ahmadi found that even short bouts of vigorous exercise or moderate-to-vigorous exercise could help lower the risk of heart disease, regardless of sedentary behavior. The study involved tracking heart conditions and circulatory disease incidence over several years using wearable devices similar to smartwatches.

In conclusion, while standing desks may offer some benefits in terms of increased physical activity, it is essential to strike a balance between standing and sitting to maintain cardiovascular health. Regular movement throughout the day and structured exercise remain key components of a healthy lifestyle. By incorporating these practices, individuals can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve overall well-being.

Overall, the research from the University of Sydney serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle to protect cardiovascular health and mitigate the risks associated with prolonged sitting or standing.
