Sedentary behaviour (SB) is an important risk factor for a number of chronic diseases. Although gaps remain in our knowledge of the elements of SB most associated with reduced health outcomes, measuring SB is important, especially in less active patient populations where treatment-related changes may be seen first in changes in SB.
We review current published work in the measurement of SB to make recommendations for SB measurement in clinical studies.
To help move our understanding of the area forward, we propose a set of derived measures of SB that can be easily understood and interpreted.
Although there is more work required to determine and validate the most clinically relevant and sensitive measures of SB, there is enough understanding of how to measure SB to enable its inclusion in study protocols.
久坐行为（SB）是多种慢性疾病的重要危险因素。尽管我们对与健康结果下降最相关的久坐行为要素的了解仍存在差距，但测量久坐行为很重要，尤其是在活动较少的患者群体中，与治疗相关的变化可能首先在久坐行为的改变中显现出来。
我们回顾了当前已发表的关于久坐行为测量的研究，为临床研究中的久坐行为测量提出建议。
为推动我们对该领域的理解，我们提出了一组易于理解和解释的久坐行为衍生测量指标。
尽管确定和验证最具临床相关性和敏感性的久坐行为测量指标还需要更多工作，但对于如何测量久坐行为已有足够的了解，使其能够纳入研究方案。
