New research has shown that over the long-term, standing more compared with sitting does not improve cardiovascular health (coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure), and could increase the risk of circulatory issues related to standing, such as varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.

Lead author from the Faculty of Medicine and Health and Deputy Director of the Charles Perkins Centre's Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub, Dr Matthew Ahmadi, said there were other ways for those with a sedentary lifestyle to improve their cardiovascular health. "For people who sit for long periods on a regular basis, including plenty of incidental movement throughout the day and structured exercise may be a better way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease," said Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, Director of the Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub.
The study was conducted using incident heart condition and circulatory disease data taken over a period of seven to eight years from 83,013 UK adults who were free of heart disease at baseline, measured using research-grade wrist-worn wearables similar to a smartwatch.
