We explore the association between occupational physical activity (OPA) and cardiovascular risk factors in four cities of the Southern Cone.
Robust multivariable linear regression models were used to examine the associations.
The working population was constituted by 1868 men and 1672 women. Men performing high levels of OPA showed higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL; mean adj. diff. = 2.24 mg/dL; P = 0.004), lower levels of triglycerides (-24.59 mg/dL; P = 0.006), and total cholesterol (TC)/HDL ratio values (-0.21; P = 0.015) than reference. Women in the highest category of OPA had higher levels of HDL (2.85 mg/dL; P = 0.006), lower TC/HDL (0.27; P = 0.001), and low-density lipoprotein/HDL ratios (-0.18; P = 0.003) than sedentary activities.
Individuals who performed high levels of OPA did not exhibit a worse cardiovascular risk profile and an improvement on selected biomarkers was observed when compared with those performing sedentary activities.
我们探讨了南锥体四个城市职业体力活动(OPA)与心血管风险因素之间的关联。
采用稳健多元线性回归模型来检验相关性。
工作人群由 1868 名男性和 1672 名女性组成。高水平 OPA 的男性具有更高的高密度脂蛋白(HDL;平均校正差异=2.24mg/dL;P=0.004),更低的甘油三酯(-24.59mg/dL;P=0.006)和总胆固醇/高密度脂蛋白比值(-0.21;P=0.015)。最高 OPA 类别的女性具有更高的 HDL(2.85mg/dL;P=0.006),更低的 TC/HDL(0.27;P=0.001)和低密度脂蛋白/HDL 比值(-0.18;P=0.003),与久坐活动相比。
与从事久坐活动的人相比,进行高水平 OPA 的个体并没有表现出更差的心血管风险状况,并且观察到某些生物标志物的改善。
