PLoS Medicine: It’s terrible! Sleeping for a long time, no exercise will die early

Release date: 2015-12-14

December 11, 2015 According to the study, sleep more than 9 hours per night, less exercise during the day, especially the lack of exercise may be very unfavorable to the human body.

The results of a survey published today in the journal PLOS Medicine show that a person who sleeps too much and takes too long to sit, and that not having enough physical activity may be more than four times more likely to die than those without these unhealthy habits. (Sit more than 7 hours a day, and exercise too little is defined as less than 150 minutes per week).

"In recent years, there has been increased evidence that sitting for too long is not good for you, and sleep has a growing understanding of our health effects, but this is the first study to see how sedentary and sleep work together." Dr. Melody Ding said.

“Our research shows that when we do some risk factors such as drinking and unhealthy eating habits, we really should take these behaviors seriously.”

Dr. Ding from the University of Sydney and her colleagues analyzed the health behavior of more than 230,000 people, the largest study in Australia to observe the health status of their peers.

The lifestyle behaviors they observe are thought to increase the risk of death and disease – such as smoking, alcohol abuse, poor eating habits and lack of physical activity, increasing excess sitting time and excessive or too little sleep time. They then observed different combinations of these risk factors to see which combination had the most impact on the risk of a person dying prematurely.

In addition to long-term sleep, long sitting and lack of exercise, the researchers also found another problematic triple threat: smoking, drinking and lack of sleep (less than 7 hours) can also cause premature death.

Several other combinations can also more than double the risk of premature death:

1. Lack of body movement + too much sleep

2. Lack of body movement + sitting for a long time

3. Smoking + alcoholism

“The key message for this research is to advise doctors, health planners, and researchers—if we design a public health program that will reduce the burden and cost of lifestyle-related diseases, we should focus on how these risk factors combine Working together, not isolated, alone," said research co-author Adrian Bauman.

“Currently, non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer worldwide cause more than 38 million deaths – more deaths than infectious diseases. A better understanding of the threat posed by a combination of risk behaviors will lead us to target Scarce resources to address this major goal and growing international issues."
