Occupational Physical Activity Opposes Obesity – New Research from PACE Lab

Dr. Jennifer Gay has published a new article from her American Heart Association-funded project. Occupational Physical Activity Opposes Obesity: A Cross-Sectional Modern Replication of the Morris 1953 London Busmen Study was published in the latest issue of Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2019. 61(3), 177-182). We found that the people who were most active at work had smaller waist circumferences by nearly 13 centimeters relative to people who were sedentary at work. And their body fat percentage was more than 9 percentage points smaller as well. The article can be found on the publisher’s website.
