Sit-Stand Desk Study for Prediabetes and Obesity
This study is looking at whether using a sit-stand desk at work can help improve health for people with prediabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome. If you are between 18 and 79 years old, are overweight or obese (BMI of 25 or higher), and have a job where you sit for at least 75% of your workday, you might be able to join. You also need to be at risk for diabetes, meaning you have prediabetes (HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% or fasting glucose between 100 and 125 mg/dL). The study aims to see if using a sit-stand desk improves insulin sensitivity (how well your body uses insulin) after 6 months. Some participants will receive a sit-stand desk, while others will not.
- Study design
