Description
Sitting for long stretches is linked to poor health in older adults, and a trial tested a coaching plan to help people sit less. Dori Rosenberg and co-authors report early results in this 2024 conference summary. The plan paired short coaching calls with a small standing desk and a wrist tracker that nudged people to stand.
Nearly three hundred older adults were split by chance into the sitting-less plan or a general healthy living plan. Wrist-worn sensors measured sitting at the start and again after three and six months. People also rated pain, mood, loneliness, and sleep. The summary focuses on how sitting patterns changed and how people said they felt. It adds rare trial-grade proof to a field that had mostly small pilot studies before.
