Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between occupational physical activity and peripheral arterial disease (PAD)assessed by ankle-brachial index (ABI). Methods Data including ABI,occupational physical activity intensity, health history, medication use, blood biochemistry and physical examinations derived from 16 446 subjects from 9 areas throughout China were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis were used for the data analyses. Results Occupational physical activity intensity was classified into 5 levels as jobless, very light, light, moderate and heavy intensity. With the increasing of physical activity intensity, the risk of PAD gradually decreased ( Ptrend <0. 05). In comparison with jobless group, the ORs of PAD for other groups were 0. 65 (95% CI:0. 52,0.82), 0.70 (95% CI:0.56, 0.87), 0.57 (95% CI:0.44, 0.73), 0.65 (95% CI: 0.53, 0.80)respectively. After adjusting for gender, age, smoke, obesity/overweight, the history of hypertension,hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke, the ORs were 1.02 (95% CI: 0. 80,1.31), 0.91 (95% CI:0.72, 1.15), 0. 92(95% CI:0. 70, 1.19), 0.90(95%CI:0.72, 1.12) (Ptrend <0. 05). Conclusion PAD risk reduced in proportion with increasing occupational physical activity.
