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?
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.

Observational data link high occupational activity to higher mortality in men with low leisure activity; leaves open causal effects and extension to myocardial infarction.
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).
