And here's Maria Gadoy reports on new research in the Journal of Jama suggesting the risks can be reduced by moving more and sitting less. A society has become more sedentary. Researchers wanted to know how all that sitting affects
pregnancy outcomes, so they recruited 500 women to wear activity trackers throughout their pregnancies. They found that people who spent more than 10 hours a day sitting had twice the risk of pregnancy complications compared to those who sat about seven hours a day.
