Older women are physically tranquil for about two-thirds of their waking hours, according to rejuvenated research. But that doesn't mean they're just sitting still. Although women in the mug up appeared to be inactive for a good portion of the day, they a lot moved about in short bursts of activity, an average of nine times an hour. "This is the key part of an ongoing study, and the first paper to look at the patterns of activity and sedentary behaviors," said command author Eric Shiroma, a researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston.

And "Some on says that sitting for long periods is harmful and the recommendation is that we should get up every 30 minutes, but there's brief hard data available on how much we're sitting and how often we get up and how measures such as these affect our trim risks". Results of the study are published as a letter in the Dec 18, 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Previous studies have suggested that the more kinfolk sit each day, the greater their hazard for chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The current bookwork included more than 7000 women whose average age was 71 years. For almost seven days, the women wore devices called accelerometers that reach movement. However, the device can't certain if someone is standing or sitting, only if they're still or moving.

The women wore the devices during their waking hours, which averaged concentrated to 15 hours a day.A break in sedentary (inactive) behavior had to cover at least one minute of movement, according to the study. On average, the women were physically still for 65,5 percent of their day, or about 9,7 hours. The average number of sedentary periods during the age was 86, according to the study.
