Medical expert identifies major cause of sudden deaths in Nigeria, other countries

A medical expert has identified prolonged sitting, particularly during computer work, as a major cause of sudden deaths in Nigeria and other countries. The professor of haematology explained that remaining in a seated position for long periods causes blood to stagnate in the lower legs.

This stagnation significantly increases the risk of blood clot formation. These clots pose a severe health hazard as they can potentially travel through the circulatory system, leading to life-threatening medical emergencies and sudden fatalities.
