And the researchers cautioned that too much emphasis on not sitting shouldn’t take the place of promoting physical activity. 　　这项发表在《国际流行病学期刊》上的研究报告很有意思的是，研究人员并不只关注工作日的久坐现象，而且还在陆续发现越来越多各种久坐的数据和身体活动量情况。 　　What抯 particularly interesting about the study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, is that researchers didn抰 just focus on sitting during the workday, but factored in all kinds of sitting-specific data as well as rates of physical activity. 　　他们的结论是，“久坐与全因死亡率风险无关。”基本上，有很多影响因素不仅仅是工作时的久坐不动，你的身体活动量是最大的健康指示器。 　　Their conclusion was that “sitting time was not associated with all-cause mortality risk.” Basically, more elements are
