Sitting Too Long
People sit for long periods daily, whether in the office, at home, or in the car. However, sitting for too long can increase the risk of serious health problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes due to damage to the arteries.
In 1953, epidemiologist Jeremy Morris discovered that London bus drivers were twice as likely to develop heart disease as bus conductors. Demographically (in terms of age, gender, and income) the two groups were similar, so why was there such a significant difference?
Morris's answer was that bus conductors were required to stand and regularly climb the steps of London's famous double-decker buses as they sold tickets to passengers while drivers sat for long periods. His landmark study laid the foundation for research on the links between physical activity and health.
Although conductors on London buses are now a thing of the past, Morris' findings are more important than ever.
