So one assumes they are standing-ish when not sitting and hence standing more won&#x27;t  help you since it didn&#x27;t help them.<p>They included some confounding factors like the fact participants where white collar. But the reality is, so are most of HN.<p>Would really like a reason to dismiss the study but yet to find one other than it conflicts with others and I don&#x27;t like it&#x27;s result.
