Avoid Sitting For Long Hours Otherwise You May Die Early! Health Articles | October 3 Authentic Tracy Walker Jersey , 2016

Nearly four per cent of all deaths – approximately 433,000 per year — are due to the fact that people worldwide spend more than three hours a day just sitting down, a study has found.



Various studies over the last decade have demonstrated how the excessive amount of time we spend sitting down may increase the risk of death, regardless of whether or not we exercise.


The new study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine Authentic Kerryon Johnson Jersey , now estimates the proportion of deaths attributable to that ‘chair effect’ in the population of 54 countries, using data from 2002 to 2011.


“It is important to minimise sedentary behaviour in order to prevent premature deaths around the world,” said lead author of the study Leandro Rezende from University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.


He also highlighted that “cutting down on the amount of time we sit could increase life expectancy by 0.20 years in the countries analysed.”


The results revealed that over 60 per cent of people worldwide spend more than three hours a day sitting down – the average in adults is 4.7 hoursday — and this is the culprit behind 3.8 per cent of deaths.


Among the territories studied, there were more deaths in the regions of the Western Pacific, followed by European countries Authentic Frank Ragnow Jersey , the Eastern Mediterranean, America and Southeast Asia.


The highest rates were found in Lebanon (11.6 per cent), the Netherlands (7.6 per cent) and Denmark (6.9 per cent), while the lowest rates were in Mexico (0.6 per cent), Myanmar (1.3 per cent) and Bhutan (1.6 per cent).


The authors calculated that reducing the amount of time we sit by about two hours (by half) would mean a 2.3 per cent decrease in mortality.


Even a more modest reduction in sitting time Authentic A'Shawn Robinson Jersey , by 10 per cent or half an hour per day, could have an immediate impact on all causes of mortality (0.6 per cebt) in the countries evaluated.


In the words of the experts, measures aimed at addressing the determining factors behind this sedentary conduct would be necessary.


“Some examples of this approach were recently highlighted by the World Health Organisation,” Rezende said.


“For example, a strategic health communication campaign was developed to promote physical activity among women in Tonga (Oceania) Authentic Jalen Reeves-Maybin Jersey , while a bicycle-sharing system was developed in Iran in addition to a sustainable transport system in Germany,” he noted.




SHIJIAZHUANG， Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- A light aeroplane plunged to the ground during a flight show in Shijiazhuang， capital of north China's Hebei Province， Thursday afternoon， killing all four people on board.


The plane， LE-500 model with 4-5 seats， was produced by AVIC Industry Corp. of China. A pilot and three customers were onboard when the accident happened at 4 p.m.


A witness said that the plane suddenly fell out of the sky and hit the ground， causing billows of black smoke.


The show started on Tuesday and will end Friday. More than 50 general aviation manufacturers and operators brought around 150 aircraft to the event， which was sponsored by the AVIC flight club.


The show has been an annual gala for flight fan， featuring stunt flights and music performances.


BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- China's manufacturing sector continued to expand in December, pointing to economic resilience in the country's factory sector.


The country's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) came in at 51.6 in December, slightly decelerating from 51.8 in November Authentic Teez Tabor Jersey , according to National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) data released Sunday.


A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while below reflects contraction.


The index in December is on par with the annual average, pointing to a strong resilience in China's growth, according to NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe.


Sub-indices for production and new orders came in at 54 and 53.4, respectively Authentic Graham Glasgow Jersey , down from 54.3 and 53.6 last month, but well above the boom-bust line of 50.


However, the sub-index of raw material inventory stood at 48 in December, down 0.4 points from last month, indicating continuously decreasing raw material inventory in the manufacturing sector.


Meanwhile Authentic Michael Roberts Jersey , the sub-index of supplier deliveries declined 0.2 points month on month to 49.3, showing a slower delivery by raw material suppliers.


The manufacturing sector employed less people as the sub-index of employment dropped 0.3 percentage points month on month to 48.5 in December.


"Factory employment continued to contract slightly -- a mismatch with expanding output that might reflect the advance of automation," according to Tom Orlik, Bloomberg chief Asia economist.


The country's manufacturing PMI has been in positive territory for 17 months in a row despite overall slower expansion this month.
