Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the association between occupational physical activity (OPA) and resting blood pressure in a cohort of Swedish construction workers.

Methods: The final sample included 241,176 male construction workers. Occupations with low OPA were foremen and white-collar workers. The most frequent occupations in the medium OPA group were electricians, pipe workers, and machine operators, and in the high OPA group woodworkers, concrete workers, and painters.

Results: Mixed effects models showed higher systolic and lower diastolic blood pressure with higher OPA, but the associations varied depending on the year of participation and participant age as shown by significant interaction terms (OPA*age, OPA*calendar year, age*calendar year). Age-stratified linear regression analyses showed a pattern of slightly higher systolic (1.49, 95% confidence interval: 1.08-1.90 mmHg) and lower diastolic (0.89, 95% confidence interval: 0.65-1.13 mmHg) blood pressure when comparing low with high OPA, but not among the oldest age groups.

Conclusion: Despite a rather large contrast in OPA, the differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure according to OPA were small.

男性建筑工人的职业体力活动和静息血压。

目的：本研究调查了瑞典建筑工人的职业体育活动（OPA）与静息血压之间的关系。方法：最终样本包括241176名男性建筑工人。OPA较低的职业是工头和白领。中等OPA组中最常见的职业是电工、管道工人和机器操作员，而高OPA组则是木工、混凝土工人和油漆工。结果：混合效应模型显示，随着OPA的升高，收缩压和舒张压升高，但相关性因参与年份和参与者年龄而异，如显著交互项（OPA*年龄、OPA*日历年、年龄*日历年）所示。年龄分层线性回归分析显示，与低OPA和高OPA相比，收缩压略高（1.49，95%置信区间：1.08-1.90 mmHg），舒张压略低（0.89，95%可信区间：0.65-11.13 mmHg）的模式，但在最年长的年龄组中没有。结论：尽管OPA的对比度相当大，但根据OPA，收缩压和舒张压的差异很小。

期刊介绍： International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health publishes Editorials, Review Articles, Original Articles, and Letters to the Editor. It welcomes any manuscripts dealing with occupational or ambient environmental problems, with a special interest in research at the interface of occupational health and clinical medicine. The scope ranges from Biological Monitoring to Dermatology, from Fibers and Dust to Human Toxicology, from Nanomaterials and Ultra-fine Dust to Night- and Shift Work, from Psycho-mental Distress and Burnout to Vibrations. A complete list of topics can be found on the right-hand side under For authors and editors. In addition, all papers should be based on present-day standards and relate to: -Clinical and epidemiological studies on morbidity and mortality -Clinical epidemiological studies on the parameters relevant to the estimation of health risks -Human experimental studies on environmental health effects. Animal experiments are only acceptable if relevant to pathogenic aspects. -Methods for studying the topics mentioned above.
