Occupational physical activity, all-cause mortality and incidence of cardiovascular diseases: results from three Italian cohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the association of exposure to Occupational Physical Activity (OPA) with all-cause mortality and incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Methods

The study population was composed of three Italian cohorts: a national cohort of employees participating in the National Health Survey 2005, followed-up until 2014 (ILS 2005), and two urban cohorts of employees resident in Turin at 2001 and 2011 censuses (TLS 2001 and TLS 2011, respectively), both followed-up until 2018.

Relative Risks of both CVD incidence and overall mortality associated with OPA quartiles (IRR) were estim
