On its website, ABC News

that limiting the time Americans spend sitting to three hours or fewer
each day would increase the life expectancy of the US population by two
years. Cutting down TV watching to fewer than two hours each day would
bump life expectancy up by another 1.4 years."

(7/10) reports that in an email, study co-author Peter Katzmarzyk said,
"We now have some physiological studies showing that when you are
sitting, your leg muscles (the largest in the body) are completely
inactive, which causes problems with how you handle your blood sugar and
how you handle cholesterol." The CNN (7/10) "The Chart" blog and BBC News (7/10, Roberts) also cover the story.
