Researchers in Finland have found that an increased sedentary lifestyle and inactivity as a child could lead to a higher chance of heart attacks and strokes later in life, even among individuals with normal weight and blood pressure.
The study, led by Dr. Andrew Agbaje of the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland, was the first of its kind probing the cumulative effect of smartwatch-assessed sedentary time in young people and cardiac damage later in life.
