That study sounds like absolute rubbish. Who stands all day if they don't have to?
The study is discussing people who spend at least 2hrs standing still. I'd bet the people standing that long are mostly security guards, cooks or shop staff. It's not at all obvious that this applies to sit/stand desks.
I notice if I spend too long standing at my desk - except on a video call - I just end up leaning against it. And then I sit down again for a bit.

hippy
I was told when I had DVT not to stand but I don't use my sit/stand desk to stand all day, I use it now and then when I'm sick of sitting all day or to encourage movement for when I'm on a longer call or similar. It's the opposite of what this study seems to be suggesting, which is people just standing all day because they now can.
