Interrelations of Socioeconomic Position and Occupational and Leisure-Time Physical Activity in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Background:The interrelations between various physical activity domains have received little empirical attention in the United States. Of particular interest, given the potential applicability to traditionally underserved communities, is the nature of the association between occupational physical activity (OPA) and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA).Methods:5448 adult men and women who participated in NHANES 1999–2000 were included in analyses. Linear regression was used to examine the bivariate and multivariable associations of OPA and education with LTPA. Generalized logit models were used to examine the association of education with OPA.Results:We found no association between education and LTPA. OPA was significantly positively associated with LTPA (P < .001). The association between OPA and LTPA was not strongest among those with low education and held only for men in gender-stratified analysis. Education was inversely associated with OPA (P < .001) in multivariable analysis.Conclusions:Our findings lend preliminary support to the hypothesis that OPA is an important determinant of LTPA, particularly in men. This provides additional support to calls for assessment of OPA, particularly among individuals of low social class.

Purpose. We investigated the association between occupational physical activity, leisure-time physical activity, and sedentary lifestyle with hypertension by adherence with aerobic exercise in middle-aged and elderly women. Methods. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), a nationally representative data between 2016 and 2017. A total of 4,241 women aged 40 years or older were included. Hypertension diagnosed by physician and exercise status was asked by questionnaires. Results. Mean age of the participants was 58.4 (±11.4, range: 40∼80 years). There were 1,681 (39.6%) women in the aerobic activity adherence group. In the logistic regression analysis with adjustment for confounding factors, frequency of occupational physical activity (OPA) level (OR 1.931; p=0.048, in ≤4 per week group), walking frequency (OR 0.436; p=0.001, in 5∼7 days per week walking group compared with never walking group) in the aerobic activity adherence group, sitting hours (OR 1.849; 95% CI: 1.279–2.673, p=0.001, in 13 hours or longer group compared with 6 hours or less sitting hours group), and muscle strengthening exercises (OR 0.554; 95% CI: 0.353–0.870, p=0.010, 1∼4 days per week compared with never) in the nonadherence group were significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusions. In the aerobic activity adherence group, further research is needed to identify the influence of occupational physical activity. In the aerobic activity nonadherence group, decreasing sitting hours and increasing endurance exercise may be helpful.

Risk Of Cancer

Longitudinal associations between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and overall cancer mortality were evaluated within the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III; 1988–2006;n=15,535). Mortality status was ascertained using the National Death Index. Self-reported LTPA was divided into inactive, regular low-to-moderate and vigorous activity. A frequency-weighted metabolic equivalents (METS/week) variable was also computed. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for overall cancer mortality in the whole sample, by body mass index categories and insulin resistance (IR) status. Nonsignificant protective associations were observed for regular low-to-moderate and vigorous activity, and for the highest quartile of METS/week (HRs range: 0.66–0.95). Individuals without IR engaging in regular vigorous activity had a 48% decreased risk of cancer mortality (HR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.28–0.98) in multivariate analyses. Conversely, nonsignificant positive associations were observed in people with IR. In conclusion, regular vigorous activity may reduce risk of cancer mortality among persons with normal insulin-glucose metabolism in this national sample.

Abstract Background and Aims For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), evidence on the optimal dose of physical activity and possible harm with excessive exercise is limited. We aimed to analyze the dose-response association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and mortality among participants with CKD and explore the optimal dose or possible harm associated with increased levels of physical activity. Method Leisure-time physical activity was self-reported. Data from 4604 adults with chronic kidney disease and without missing data for LTPA and mortality in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999-2012 were analyzed in 2019. Mortality was from baseline until 31 December 2015 Results During the median follow-up of 114 months, 1449 (31%) all-cause deaths were recorded. Comparing with inactive groups, the multi-variable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 10-59, 60-149, 150-299, and 300-599 minutes/week of leisure-time physical activity for all-cause mortality were 0.71 (0.55-0.92), 0.78 (0.62-0.98), 0.79 (0.63-0.98), and 0.75 (0.57-0.99), respectively. The benefit appeared to reach a threshold of a 41% (HR,0.59; 95% CI, 0.41-0.84) lower risk of all-cause mortality among individuals reporting 600-1499 min/week for LTPA. And at ≥ 1500 min/week LTPA level, the HR and 95%CI were 0.66 (0.40-1.10). Conclusion LTPA was associated with reduced all-cause mortality in participants with CKD. We observed the optimal dose at the moderate-intensity LTPA level of approximately 600-1499 min/week and no longevity benefit at ≥1500 min/week.

Aims. The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of leisure-time physical activity on undetected prediabetes.Methods. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2012 were used in our analyses. Logistic regression was conducted to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of prediabetes associated with leisure-time physical activity.Results. A total of 8204 subjects were eligible for our analyses. For all subjects, high level of total leisure-time physical activity (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.66, 0.94) and low level of vigorous leisure-time physical activity (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.90) were inversely associated with the risk of prediabetes in multivariate-adjusted model. For subjects under 45 years of age, high level of total leisure-time physical activity (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.61, 0.99) and low (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.45, 0.83) and high (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.53, 1.00) level of vigorous leisure-time physical activity were associated with a decreased risk of prediabetes. In the 45 to 65 age group, only high level of total leisure-time physical activity (OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.95) had protective effect on prediabetes.Conclusions. Leisure-time physical activity may be associated with a decreased risk of prediabetes.
