    Simple sitting change linked to lower risk of cancer death, study finds

    A study led by the University of Glasgow found that interrupting prolonged sitting with physical activity reduces cancer death risk. Participants who broke up sedentary periods with light, moderate, or vigorous activity saw risk reductions of 12%, 8%, and 22% respectively when replacing one hour or portions of sitting. The observational study tracked 91,292 UK participants over 12 years using movement-tracking devices.
