Key result
Moderate and high levels of leisure time physical activity reduced CVD risk among >790,000 adults, whereas occupational physical activity showed a slightly increased risk of CVD.
Why the study?
Do different types of physical activity (leisure time vs occupational) reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults?
Meta-Analysis (n=790,000)

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Leisure time physical activity is associated with reduced CVD risk, while occupational physical activity may slightly increase CVD risk, highlighting the differential cardiovascular impact of physical activity types.
Li et al. (2013) conducted a meta-analysis in Cardiovascular disease (n=790,000). Leisure time and occupational physical activity was evaluated on Incident cardiovascular disease. Moderate and high levels of leisure time physical activity reduced CVD risk among >790,000 adults, whereas occupational physical activity showed a slightly increased risk of CVD.
