Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how different types of physical activities, like walking and sitting, affect cardiometabolic health through a meta-analysis of data from over 12,000 adults.
- Results indicated that about 64 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of stair climbing per day, along with standing for about 2.6 hours, were linked to better cardiometabolic health scores, while running showed positive associations with health, without an upper limit for benefits.
- The analysis also found that sitting for more than 12.1 hours a day negatively impacted health scores, although this effect was less significant in people with existing cardiovascular issues or those on medication.
