T

40、he researchers say sometimes the fish would swimalongside the strange-looking robo-fish out of curiosity, while at other times theyappeared completely unaware of its existence. (更重要的是，机器鱼 SoFi 能够靠近鱼类拍摄照片和视频而不会引起任何干扰。研究人员说，有时候出于好奇这些鱼会和看起来奇怪的机器鱼一起游泳，而在其他时候，它们似乎完全不知道它的存在。)可知，在机器鱼 SoFi 工作的时候，它不会打扰到鱼类的活动

44、lit into four equal-sized groups, based on thetotal amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking intoaccount factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. Thiswas then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The resultswere

45、 analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount ofactivity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities ofactivity. The team said the study supported the message “sit less and move more andmore often”.However, the study had limitations. It o

46、nly looked at the situation for middle ageand older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effectcould be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be relatedto physical activity.
