The Claim
In postmenopausal female cancer survivors, greater daily sitting time is independently associated with an increased hazard of cardiovascular disease mortality, with each additional 102.2 minutes of sedentary behavior per day linked to a 30% higher hazard ratio (HR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.02–1.67), after adjustment for physical activity and other confounding factors, suggesting that sedentary behavior may specifically elevate the risk of heart-related death in this population.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Sitting too much might raise the risk of dying from heart problems in women who’ve gone through menopause and survived cancer. Every extra hour and 42 minutes of sitting per day could increase that risk by 30%.
See the scientific wording
In postmenopausal female cancer survivors, greater sitting time is associated with a higher hazard of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Each additional 102.2 minutes per day of sitting is linked to a 30% higher hazard (HR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.02–1.67), after adjusting for physical activity and other factors. This indicates that sedentary behavior may specifically increase heart-related death risk in this group.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that sitting more is linked to a higher chance of dying from heart disease in women who had cancer and are no longer having periods. The numbers in the claim match exactly what the study found.
