A new study reveals older women have a greater risk of heart failure if they spend more time sitting than those who sit less. And according to UPI, that's even if they have a regular fitness routine.

Women spending less than 6.5 hours daily sitting or lying down had 15% less risk of heart failure hospitalization than women spending 9.5 sedentary hours daily. The data also showed the less sedentary women had a 42% less risk of heart failure hospitalization than women reporting more than 9.5 hours sedentary hours.
