Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that sitting for more than 11 hours per day increased the risk of death by 40% compared to sitting for less than four hours per day. If the average person sits for 55% of their day, that means they sit for about 13 hours per day (assuming eight hours of sleep). Therefore, the risk of death would be significantly higher than the average 13-year mortality rate, which is around 8%. Choosing C, which is "About 13%", is the most reasonable answer based on the information provided.
