久坐可致英年早逝?!

A new study suggests that for better health, you should try standing up more, HealthDay News reported.

据每日健康资讯报道，新研究指出，多多站立是更为健康的生活方式。

Those who spend 11 or more hours a day sitting, are 40 percent more likely to die within the next three years regardless of how physically active they are otherwise, researchers say.

科学家称，每天久坐11小时以上的人，未来3年，无论做多少锻炼，死亡率会比正常人高出40%。

Analyzing self-reported data from more than 222,000 people aged 45 and older, Australian researchers found that mortality risks spike after 11 hours of total daily sitting.

澳大利亚科学家分析22.2万名45岁及45岁以上人士的自我检查报告得出，每天坐11小时的人死亡风险陡增。

Yet they are still 15 percent higher for those sitting between 8 and 11 hours, compared to those spending fewer than 4 hours per day sitting down.

相比每天坐不足4小时的人，每天坐8-11小时的人死亡率要高出15%。
