Title: Standing is better than sitting whilst activity is better for the waistline
Refs:
[1] “Replacing sitting by standing or stepping: associations with cardio-metabolic risk
biomarkers”, Genevieve N Healy et al European Heart Journal doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehv308
[2] The researchers used isotemporal substitution analyses to estimate the effects on health of
replacing time spent in one activity with time in another. Isotemporal substitution analysis
simultaneously models the specific activity being performed and the specific activity being
displaced in an equal time-exchange manner, while keeping waking hours unchanged.
