Some new results seem to indicate that merely standing might not avoid the risks currently associated with sitting down all day. This seems to point in the direction that "not doing anything" may be the underlying culprit. I wonder if we can develop more dynamic working environments that could tackle that issue, if this is proven to be the case. An article follows: "Conclusions: Sitting time was not associated with all-cause mortality risk. The results of this study suggest that policy makers and clinicians should be cautious about placing emphasis on sitting behaviour as a risk factor for mortality that is distinct from the effect of physical activity." http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/44/6/1909 http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/44/6/1909
