Depends on whether I have a boner or not ....
Seriously, a study?? I have long believed that there is no real news out there so they just keep making things up to do.
Like going to the gym, you need to ease yourself into the routine so your muscle can strengthen - varicose veins or maybe even lower back ache can occur if muscles required for standing aren't conditioned.
The study the OP is citing indicates that prolonged standing--thus being on your feet the whole day, such as what would be required for a waiter--increases risk of cardiac events.
The key word is prolonged.
The best posture is one that constantly changing.
Thus, don't stay in one position--be it sitting or standing--for hours at a time. I sit, stand and walk throughout the workday.
The human body is meant to move, shift and change, not remain in any one fixed position.
