Prolonged sitting decreases cutaneous vasodilatory function regardless of ambient temperature

In Japan, people spend approximately seven hours sitting per day, which is the longest sitting time in the world. This sedentary behavior (i.e., repeated bouts of prolonged sitting) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Recently, a research group has reported that prolonged sitting under constant skin temperature conditions can impair cutaneous vasodilation function, and repeated local heating and cooling do not mitigate this impairment.
