More elderly are more at risk Clothing Sitting Disabilities

Jakarta , more advanced age , the desire to sit around relaxing day will be even greater . Common practice that is not a good habit . Because according to a study , one additional hour to be seated turns doubles the risk of disability in the elderly .
In men or women over the age of 60 , each additional hour spent sitting increases the risk of disability . That was a disappointment , exercise will not be able to protect one of the hidden dangers posed prolonged sitting habits . So says a new study of the studies .
In the study , scientists looked at data sample of 2,286 elderly people aged 60 or older . The data comes from a national survey of Americans , the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey . The participants are elderly who have high levels of health , medium activity , and the activity of the same weight .
Participants were asked to wear accelerometers as from 2002 to 2005 to measure their activity . How much time spent sitting , to undertake moderate physical activity , and weight . Similarly, a report in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health .
This study is the first study to show that the lack of movement is one of the risk factors that can lead to disability , regardless of the lack of exercise . In fact , inertia is a risk factor that is as strong as lack of exercise .
" This is the first time we show that the habit of silence associated with increased risk of disability , regardless of how much moderate exercise is done , " said Dorothy Dunlop , associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine .
" And silence is not a synonym of less physical activity , " he added .
If there are two 65-year -old woman , one of them did not move for 12 hours and the other for 13 hours in a day , the second woman at risk of 50 % to persons with disabilities . Restrict a person's disability is known to relieve oneself , carrying , or lifting something .
The risk of disability increases with age . The risk was 6 % in childhood , 16 % in adults of working age , and 45 % at retirement .
In fact , there is evidence to suggest that too much sitting may be a new risk factor causes premature death and disease . Professor Dunlop was surprised to find the results of the discovery.
" It means that older adults should reduce the time spent sitting , either in front of the television or at the computer , regardless of their participation in moderate or strenuous activity , " he said as quoted by the Daily Mail , Wednesday ( 26/2 / 2014 ) .
However, because the study does is examine the data at a particular time span , can not immediately conclude that the habit of sitting around cause disability . It's just a habit that is a potential trigger .
Research Dunlop strengthens some previous studies related to the habit of sitting . A previous study showed an association between habitual sitting with disabilities , but the study was only based on personal reports and can not be verified .
Another study found that watching television for 6 hours in a day can shorten the life of up to five years when compared with those who never watch television . People who sit for longer also have a larger waist size , cholesterol levels , blood sugar levels , and higher triglyceride levels .
