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

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.

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.

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.

       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%。

       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。

       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%。
