Popis: INTRODUCTION: Despite the well-established benefits of physical activity (PA), a large portion of U.S. adults are not meeting recommended health-based guidelines. Although PA occurs in several domains, population-based studies tend to focus on leisure-time PA, with few studies examining occupational activity (OA) level as a separate determinant of overall PA. METHODS: Data were obtained from the 2014–2016 Survey of Health of Wisconsin (SHOW). Currently employed SHOW participants (n = 822) were categorized into OA level categories. Bivariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors and to test associations between OA and odds of meeting total PA guidelines using both self-reported and accelerometer-based data. RESULTS: Individuals with high OA level jobs tended to be males (p
