As you sit in the chair every day? More than six hours can kill you

Sitting more than six hours a day increases the risk of death, says a study published in "American Journal of Epidemiology."

Women who are sitting more than six hours per day had a period of 13 years, a higher risk of death by 37% of people who are sitting less than three hours a day, write huffingtonpost.com.

If men are sitting more than six hours a day, the risk of death is 18% higher.

The risk of death is greater for people who are not moving. The least active women in the study who reported the greatest amount of time spent sitting on a chair, have a death risk 94% higher than women who said they are as little as a chair and do more exercise. 48% of men have the same problem, say the study results.
