Determinants of 40-year all-cause mortality in the European cohorts of the Seven Countries Study

“…In a Japanese study on elderly people, health behavior and social role were risk factors for all-cause mortality along with age, low serum albumin, high blood pressure and ECG abnormalities, among a total of 30 personal characteristics [4]. Other studies considered single or very specific risk factors for all-cause mortality such as the limited influence of soil-cadmium levels [2], the null influence of radar equipment [6], the direct role of respiratory symptoms [7], alcohol abuse [3], left bundle branch block [8], post-load plasma glucose [9], high basal metabolic rates [11], high body mass index [5,13], pessimistic side of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory OptimismPessimism Scale scores [10], and high physical work demand [14].…”

“…Beyond the interest for cardiovascular diseases, this long observation prompted interest in allcause mortality and its determinants. A few studies have reported long-term analyses on all-cause deaths but rarely reaching 40-year of follow-up [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Evaluation of four sensor locations for physical activity assessment

“…Although leisure-time PA is widely considered beneficial to overall health (Haskell et al, 2007;Warburton et al, 2006), and some studies have observed favorable effects of PA on musculoskeletal pain among worker populations (Hildebrandt et al, 2000), high intensity occupational PA has been associated with increased risk of several chronic health conditions and may be deleterious to health (Harari et al, 2015;Heneweer et al, 2011;Holtermann et al, 2012aHoltermann et al, , 2012bHoltermann et al, , 2010Sitthipornvorakul et al, 2011). Moreover, some investigators have suggested a U-shaped relationship between intensity of PA and undesirable health outcomes (i.e.…”

Occupational physical activity and 20-year incidence of acute myocardial infarction: results from the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study

“…Other researchers have found associations between OPA, aerobic fitness and clinical CVD outcomes (29). However this is the first study of OPA and incidence of AMI using individualized measures of the misfit between EE demands at work and aerobic capacity of the individual worker, while also combining persons with and without pre-existing IHD in interaction analyses.…”

“…Higher levels of OPA were associated with a reduced risk of CVD in some prospective population-based studies (9-15) but not others (10,13,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) or were associated with an increased CVD risk (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) and, in one study, depending on level of fitness (29). A few studies showed differential effects, with LTPA being protective and OPA having no effect (20,30), LTPA having an effect only among persons with low levels of OPA (14), or LTPA constituting a CVD risk (23), especially among persons with high levels of OPA indicating an interaction between OPA and LTPA (28).…”
