According to the BBC – workers who spend excessive amounts of time at their desk could be putting their lives at risk, research suggests.

The researchers found a third of patients admitted to hospital with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were office workers who spent hours at a computer. I goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that this would also apply to designers who spend hour upon hours pushing pixels around the screen.
