11.55am BST Caspar Llewellyn Smith: The head teacher at the primary school is asking the packed hall - the children in their blue and yellow uniforms with the sloagn "Aim High" sitting reasonably hushed in serried rows - "What does impromptu mean?" A couple of hands shoot up.
Of particular interest we found that workers with mainly sedentary jobs reported the highest sitting time outside of work on both workdays and non-workdays, and reported the highest sedentary entertainment time (on workdays).
Whilst no systematic differences between gender have been reported in the literature for work engagement, gender differences have been observed in sedentary behaviours between men and women with men reporting significantly higher occupational sitting time than women in some studies [e.g. 6], and other studies reporting women with higher occupational sitting time [e.g. 7].
It was also encouraging that men and women, young and old individuals, those with low and high sitting levels, as well as those who scored low and high for the psychosocial correlates (self-efficacy, social support and 'intention to change') towards interrupting sitting at work visited the website.
In contrast, 39%, 42%, and 19% were spent in jobs with low, medium, and high sitting time.
Occupational sitting time was entered as the dependent variable with moderate sitting time and high sitting time entered against the reference category of low sitting time (data for low sitting is not presented in the table).
The results for men show that the age groups ≥ 40 were less likely to be associated with high occupational sitting times.
For women, in the unadjusted model, those reporting higher levels of job performance were more likely to have moderate sitting times; and those with high absorption were more likely to report high sitting time.
Table 4 presents associations of demographic characteristics, health behaviours and work characteristics with occupational sitting using categories of low, moderate and high occupational sitting (with low occupational sitting used as a reference category against moderate and high sitting times) separately for men (n =1945) and women (n = 2491).
In model two, high sitting time was entered against the reference category of low sitting time.
