I love the piece today reported in all national press in the Guardian that women fidgets live longer than women non-fidgets. Long ago, around the time in 1904 when ADHD was first reported in the British medical journal the Lancet, alongside the poem “Fidgety Phil” – ADHDers were described as “fidgets”.
Now, a joint study with research by scientists at the University of Leeds including 13,000 women, tracked between 1999 and 2002, shows that even mild fidgeting is better than no fidgeting, when it comes to the negative effect of sitting in a seat for long periods of time. The study had nothing to do with ADHD – and asked women to self report on their fidgeting in their seats – on a scale of one to ten.
