Different Types

ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the association between physical activity and high-sensitivity C reactive protein, based on different types of physical activity—occupational and leisure time.MethodsUsing cross-sectional data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015–2018, we explored the association between different types of self-reported physical activity and high levels of high-sensitivity C reactive protein (>3 mg/L). We estimated the ORs for high-level high-sensitivity C reactive protein using multiple logistic regression models after adjusting for covariates from 12 970 eligible subjects (mean age 44.8).ResultsCompared with subjects who did not engage in moderate-to-vigorous level of occupational physical activity (OPA), the group that engaged in moderate-to-vigorous level of OPA showed a significantly high OR (1.32, 95% CI (1.03 to 1.69)), whereas the group that engaged in moderate-to-vigorous level of leisure-time physical activity (LPA) yielded a low OR (0.84, 95% CI (0.69 to 1.01)). The group that engaged in moderate-to-vigorous level of OPA but not LPA showed a significantly high OR (1.76, 95% CI (1.27 to 2.45)) compared with subjects who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous level of LPA but not in OPA.ConclusionsOPA is directly associated with high C reactive protein levels, suggesting that it increases the risk of inflammation.

The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between physical activity during leisure time and perceived stress among working adults ( N = 32,229). Data were gathered on physical activity, perceived stress, current health status, age, gender, life changes, ongoing problems, number of techniques used for stress reduction, and number of personality traits related to Type A behavior. To control for confounding variables Mantel-Haenszel summary risk estimates were used. Employees who expended more than 3.0 Kcal/kg−1 · day−1 in physical activity during leisure time were 0.78 and 0.62 times less likely to have moderate and high perceived stress, respectively. Working adults participating in moderate amounts of these activities have about half the rate of perceived stress as nonparticipants.
