Approximately 23% of US adults report sitting for more than 6 hours per day while also not consuming coffee, identifying this subgroup as potentially at higher risk for mortality outcomes.

  1. Study: Association of daily sitting time and coffee consumption with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among US adults

    The study looked at people who sit a lot (over 6 hours a day) and don't drink coffee, and found they have about 58% higher risk of dying compared to people who drink coffee and sit less. This matches the claim that this group is high-risk for death.
