Sitting in front of a computer monitor all day may soon be officially against doctors’ advice.
The American Medical Association, which represents 225,000 doctors in the U.S. and recommends ways to improve public health and medical care, will consider whether to recognize the dangers of sitting all day -- at work, in the car or at home -- at its annual policy meeting.
