Key result
High occupational physical activity was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among men with low leisure time physical activity (HR 1.56; 95% CI 1.11 to 2.18).
Why the study?
Does high occupational physical activity increase the risk of myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality in adults without a history of cardiovascular disease?

Observational data link high occupational activity to higher mortality in men with low leisure activity; leaves open causal effects and extension to myocardial infarction.
Cohort (n=7,819)
Does high occupational physical activity increase the risk of myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality in adults without a history of cardiovascular disease?
Hazard Ratio: 1.56 (95% CI 1.11–2.18)
High occupational physical activity is associated with increased all-cause mortality in men with low or moderate leisure time physical activity, highlighting the differing health impacts of occupational versus leisure physical activity.
Holtermann et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality (n=7,819). High occupational physical activity vs. Low occupational physical activity was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 1.56, 95% CI 1.11 to 2.18). High occupational physical activity was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among men with low leisure time physical activity (HR 1.56; 95% CI 1.11 to 2.18).
