Abstract

Objective: Leisure-time physical activity (PA) has been hypothesized to reduce the likelihood of occupational injuries, but it is unclear whether this association varies between workplace and commuting injuries. The aim of this study was to examine the association between PA and risk of workplace and commuting injuries.

Methods: Data were derived from the Finnish Public Sector study including 82 716 person-observations (48 116 participants). PA was requested repeatedly in four questionnaire surveys between 2000-2012. The average level of PA from two subsequent questionnaires was used to assess long-term PA. To obtain a 1-year incidence of injuries, participants were linked to occupational injury records from the national register. Logistic regression analysis with generalized estimating equations was used to examine the association between PA and injury risk. The analysis was adjusted for age, sex, education, work schedule, job demand, sleep difficulties, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and depression for workplace and commuting injuries, and workplace injuries were additionally adjusted for physical heaviness of an occupation and injury risk by occupation.

Results: Higher level of PA was associated with a lower risk of workplace injuries compared to inactive participants [odds ratio (OR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-0.98]. This association was most marked in the ≥50-year-old age group (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.64-0.99). No association between the PA and the risk for commuting injuries was observed.

Conclusion: Higher PA is associated with lower risk of workplace injuries particularly among older employees.

体育锻炼与工伤和通勤伤害风险：一项队列研究。

目的：休闲时间的体力活动（PA）被认为可以降低职业伤害的可能性，但目前还不清楚这种关联在工作场所伤害和通勤伤害之间是否存在差异。本研究的目的是探讨 PA 与工伤和通勤伤害风险之间的关系：数据来源于芬兰公共部门研究，包括 82716 个观察对象（48116 名参与者）。在 2000-2012 年间的四次问卷调查中，对 PA 进行了反复询问。随后两次问卷调查的平均PA水平被用于评估长期PA。为了获得 1 年的工伤发生率，参与者与国家登记册中的工伤记录进行了关联。采用广义估计方程进行逻辑回归分析，以检验 PA 与受伤风险之间的关系。该分析对年龄、性别、教育程度、作息时间、工作要求、睡眠困难、心血管疾病、糖尿病和抑郁症等因素进行了调整，并对工伤和通勤工伤进行了调整，此外还对职业的体力负荷和职业的工伤风险进行了调整：与不运动的参与者相比，运动量越大，工伤风险越低[几率比（OR）0.85，95% 置信区间（CI）0.73-0.98]。这种关联在年龄≥50 岁的人群中最为明显（OR 0.78，95% CI 0.64-0.99）。没有观察到 PA 与通勤伤害风险之间存在关联：结论：较高的业余爱好与较低的工伤风险有关，尤其是在老年雇员中。
