I assume you're right and I don't have the medical expertise to comment, 
but I was just wondering: is it because of the typical sitting position, 
legs horizontal and body upright or the crosslegged position, or is it 
the sitting itself or perhaps the quality of the cushions? Many blue 
collar workers are also sitting the whole day and I never heard of 
problems in that area.
