The relationship between occupational physical activity and self-reported vs measured total physical activity
2019, Preventive Medicine ReportsCitation Excerpt :As a result, differences in total physical activity are not observed but domain specific differences (leisure, travel and occupational) do exist. These findings are consistent with previous research showing that individuals in occupations that require little physical activity (professional-type/ higher-status occupations) tend to do more leisure time physical activity, and the opposite is true with individuals in occupations that require a lot of physical activity (white/blue-collar occupation) tend to do little leisure time activity (Kirk and Rhodes, 2011; Caban-Martinez et al., 2007; Popham and Mitchell, 2006; Salmon et al., 2000). Physical activity has been shown to improve chronic disease morbidity and mortality, yet additional research is needed to understand how physical activity during different domains of daily living such as occupation, active transport, household chores and leisure time activity influence overall physical activity levels.
The association between income and leisure-time physical activity is moderated by utilitarian lifestyles: A nationally representative US population (NHANES 1999–2014)
2018, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :As persons of lower SES are more likely to be employed in physically demanding jobs (Caban-Martinez et al., 2007; Salmon et al., 2000; Van Domelen et al., 2011), not accounting for occupational-related PA when assessing the link between low SES and LTPA may be introducing measurement error into the estimates. Indeed, the studies that have assessed the link between SES and LTPA after accounting for occupational-related PA have shown mixed findings (Salmon et al., 2000; Wolin and Bennett, 2008; Finger et al., 2012). While accounting for occupation-related PA may help to better clarify associations as a function of different domains of overall energy expenditure, it might also introduce bias.
