Thanks, that's a really interesting result - especially in the face of countless headlines (with weak supporting data) about the dangers of sitting. I'm curious to see what "adjustment for work variables" means, since that's such an open-ended task.
I'm also fascinated to see: "Cardiovascular risk associated with occupations that involve combinations of sitting, standing, and walking differed for men and women, with these occupations associated with lower cardiovascular risk estimates among men but elevated risk estimates among women."
I would have guessed that mixed position, moderately-active work was drastically better than anything else across all groups. I'd be surprised if the paradoxical gender result holds, normally those imply a weak or confounded effect, but even if it's simply neutral that means my expectations were massively wrong.
