Until recently, methods for objective quantification of sitting time have been lacking. The aim this study was to validate self-reported measures against objectively measured total and longest continuous with uninterrupted during working hours, leisure on workdays leisuredays. Objective diurnal measurement obtained among 26 office workers 2 accelerometers (ActiGraph GT3X+) a 7-day period. Customized software (Acti4) used identify separated from other sedentary behaviours. Self-reported...
Among blue-collar workers, high physical work demands are generally considered to be the main cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability. However, current available research on this topic has been criticised for using self-reported data, cross-sectional design, insufficient adjustment potential confounders, inadequate follow-up recurrent fluctuating pattern pain. Recent technological advances have provided possibilities objective diurnal field measurements activities frequent The aim paper...
Objective Low-back pain (LBP) is a massive health problem. Sitting at work has been suggested to be both risk and protective factor for LBP. Thus, the objective of this study was investigate association between total temporal patterns objectively measured sitting duration individual time course Methods The analysis performed among 665 participants from DPhacto cohort mainly blue-collar workers. by accelerometry baseline, expressed in pattern [% working spent brief bursts (≤5 minutes),...
Objectives The aim of this paper was to investigate if objectively measured daily duration forward bending the trunk increases risk development or aggravation low-back pain (LBP) over one year in a working blue-collar population by examining (i) incidence rate LBP among workers reporting no at baseline, and (ii) baseline. Methods Using data from Danish Physical Activity Cohort with Objective Measurements (DPhacto), study (>60˚) work (FBW) during leisure time (FBL), diurnally accelerometers,...
Low back pain (LBP) occurrence and intensity are considered to fluctuate over time, requiring frequent repetitive assessments capture its true time pattern. Text messages makes reporting of LBP feasible, which enables investigation 1) the pattern LBP, 2) predictors for having a continued high (chronic) level longer periods time. However, this has not previously been investigated in larger working population. The aim study was examine these two aspects population 842 workers with measurements...
