For cancer survivors, too much sitting may mean death, a new study warns.
“Getting to or exceeding the upper limit of 300 minutes is ideal,” Cao and Lin say.
About 16% were “insufficiently” active, or getting less than 150 minutes per week. Meanwhile, 28% were active, achieving more than 150 minutes of weekly physical activity. Over the course of up to 9 years, 293 of the cancer survivors died -- 114 from cancer, 41 from heart diseases, and 138 from other causes.
Cancer survivors who sat for more than 8 hours a day, and were inactive or not active enough, had as much as five times the risk of death from any cause or cancer.
