(Relaxnews) If you feel down in the dumps after a long day of sitting at your desk, a new study confirms it: the longer a person sits, the more likely he or she is to have symptoms of depression, researchers claim.

Researchers from Victoria University and the University of Queensland recruited nearly 9,000 women ages 50 to 55 who responded to surveys in 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010, Runners World cited. Researchers kept tabs on depressive symptoms and physical activity levels as well.
