Water transport operating occupations represented the only group deemed to have a high frequency of exposure to asbestos.
Networks that reinforced behavior consisted of peers involved in the transport business and negative behaviors were often mentioned in relation to the occupation.
A further explanation could be the missing distinction of sedentary behaviour domains (household, leisure time, transport and occupation) as suggested by the ecological model [ 23].
The other significant associations were with use of condom often or always for sex over the past 6 months (odds ratio 14.5), no circumcision (odds ratio 13.8), more than one lifetime women sex partner or ever visited sex worker (odds ratio 3.5), and transport-related occupation (odds ratio 3.1).
Construction, transport, and "other" occupations are, in general, associated with lower blood pressure incidence than most other occupations.
Working in construction, transport, and other occupations appears to be associated with lower incidence of HBP than laboring, the omitted category.
Transport- and communication-related occupations: seamen (21), transport workers (22), drivers (23), communication workers (24).
Determinants may be from occupation, transport, household and leisure contexts.
Transport and communication-related occupations: seamen (21), drivers (23), transport workers (22), communication workers (24).
Specially, since some studies suggest that LTPA, rather than PA performed in other domains (active transport, work or habitual occupation), is positively associated with health indicators such as a reduced obesity and cardiovascular risk, and improved health perception [ 17– 20].
