Scientists at the UK’s University of Leicester quizzed 505 men and women on their sitting habits and tested their blood for chemicals linked with diabetes. The study found that women who sat seven hours per day had higher levels of insulin.
High insulin suggests the body is growing resistant to insulin and diabetes is developing. These women also had higher levels of several chemicals that indicate inflammation in the body. The researchers did not find similar results in the men they studied.
