Daily domain-specific time-use composition of physical behaviors and blood pressure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research has shown contrasting effects on hypertension for occupational and leisure-time physical behaviors-physical activity and sedentary behavior and time in bed. However, (a) none of these studies have addressed the compositional property of the physical behaviors and (b) most knowledge on the association between domain-specific physical behaviors and hypertension relies upon self-reported physical behaviors information primarily on white-collar worker study samples. We aimed to be the first to disentangle the relationship between technically measured 24-h time-use behaviors in work and leisure domains and blood pressure among blue-collar workers using a compositional data analysis approach.

Methods

Workers (n = 669) wore accelerometers to measure dai
