Day-to-day pattern of work and leisure time physical behaviours: are low socioeconomic status adults couch potatoes or work warriors?

Abstract Background Most studies on day-to-day patterns of physical behaviours (i.e. activities and sedentary behaviour) are based adults with high socioeconomic status (SES) without differentiating between work leisure time. Thus, we aimed to characterise the time among low SES investigate influence behaviours. Methods This cross-sectional study included 963 from occupations (e.g. manufacturing, cleaning transportation). The participants wore accelerometers for 1–7 days measure during time, expressed as time-use compositions consisting spent sedentary, standing or being active (walking, running, stair climbing, cycling). Compositional multivariate multilevel models were used regress daily composition against compositions. Interaction weekday (1) type day, (i.e., work/non-work) (2) tested. isotemporal substitution was interpret estimates models. Results Each weekday, workers consistently most standing.
