Workers' Activity Profiles Associated With Predicted 10-Year Cardiovascular Disease Risk.

ABSTRACT: Background There is a need to explore common activity patterns undertaken by workers and the association between these activity profiles and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study explored the number and type of distinct profiles of activity patterns among workers and the association between these profiles and predicted 10-year risk for a first atherosclerotic CVD event. Methods and Results Distinct activity patterns from a cross-section of workers' accelerometer data were sampled from Canadian Health Measures Survey participants (5 cycles, 2007-2017) and identified using hierarchical cluster analysis techniques. Covariates included accelerometer wear time, work factors, sociodemographic factors, clinical markers, and lifestyle variables. Associations between activity profiles and high a
