#2I love the phrase metabolic derangements. It accurately conveys how completely abnormal the changes are.

Downvoted because these types of comments are unsubstantive.
You are basically just affirming Linus's Law: "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". Just because the bug is shallow to you doesn't mean it is shallow to everyone.

How do we interpret and apply information like this? Many people work in front a computer these days so it can't actually be applied to them (read us).

The study had people walk 10,000 fewer steps in a day. So, walking more would reverse it if the study was right.
In practice it would mean taking periodic breaks to walk around a bit, and trying to arrange things such that you could walk some of your commute, or walk to the store, etc
Obviously harder for people in suburbia.

I find excuses to take short breaks during the day where I can walk somewhere. If there's a choice between the stairs or an elevator - the stairs. Little things like that are low impact, but they add up.

I don't think anyone needs the government's help to know that moving around is better than sitting all day. Whether or not one finds a way to fit that into their routine is a personal choice, but this is common sense.
