A study by New Zealand Professor Richard Beasley of the Medical Research Institute in Wellington found that office workers sitting for long hours at their desk may be more apt to have fatal blood clots than passengers that travel on long air flights.
Beasley found that of the 62 people he studied, 34 percent of them that were admitted to a hospital with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were office workers that spent long period of times at their computers.
Those that were admitted in connection to long plane flights came in at 21 percent.
Some of those Beasley studied sat at their computers for 14 hours a day, while in many cases not getting up for three or four hours. The most industries that had 
the most problems were call-centers and information technology businesses.
Describing DVT, an article said that it is "the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. The clots can travel to the heart, lungs or brain, causing chest pain, breathlessness or possible death from a heart attack or stroke."
