Associations of occupational and leisure-time physical activity with all-cause mortality: an individual participant data meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Health effects of different physical activity domains (ie, during leisure time, work and transport) are generally considered positive. Using Active Worker consortium data, we assessed independent associations of occupational and leisure-time physical activity (OPA and LTPA) with all-cause mortality.

Design

Two-stage individual participant data meta-analysis.

Data source

Published and unpublished cohort study data.

Eligibility criteria

Working participants aged 18-65 years.

Methods

After data harmonisation, we assessed associations of OPA and LTPA with all-cause mortality. In stage 1, we analysed data from each study separately using Cox survival regression, and in stage 2, we pooled individual study findings with random-effects modelling
