Why the study?

Does prolonged occupational and leisure-time sitting reduce nocturnal heart rate variability in blue-collar workers?

Population

138 blue-collar workers, mean age 45.5 (SD 9.4) years

Design

Cross-sectional

Follow-up

4 days

Implication

Occupational sitting was associated with lower nocturnal HRV; leaves open causal effects and need for intervention trials.

Structured PICO

Does prolonged occupational and leisure-time sitting reduce nocturnal heart rate variability in blue-collar workers?

Population

138 blue-collar workers, mean age 45.5 (SD 9.4) years

Intervention

Occupational and leisure-time sitting measured objectively for four days using tri-axial accelerometers

Outcome

Nocturnal heart rate variability (HRV) (time and frequency domain indices) derived during nighttime sleepsurrogate

Objectively measured occupational sitting time is associated with reduced nocturnal heart rate variability in blue-collar workers, indicating attenuated cardiac autonomic regulation.
