If you look at some statistics (can't find it now) I seem to recall sales and marketing have lower prevalence of obesity. Meanwhile construction workers have higher. I think what matters more is less stress in a job, eating healthy and doing physical activity regularly.

- pkaye 7y agoSo why do construction workers who are more active still have obesity?
- pault 7y agoYou'd need a wider sample of sedentary office workers than just sales and marketing to make that conclusion.
- pkaye 7y agoOkay I finally found the article. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/03/the-jobs-with-the-highest-obesity-rates/359849/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/03/the-jobs-... I'd say the physically active jobs are actually on the middle to upper half of the list. Transportation, warehousing, manufacturing and construction for example.
