Desk-based workers desire less sitting and more walking at work.
The study looked at how office workers spend their time at work, focusing on sitting, standing, walking, and physically demanding tasks. They found that most desk-based workers spend a lot of time sitting, but they actually want to sit less and walk more. This mismatch between what they do and what they want could impact their health. The researchers suggest that workplace health programs should not only encourage standing more but also provide opportunities for walking during work hours to better match workers' preferences.
