| Popis: | Introduction: The relation between objectively measured physical activity (PA) and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors has not been studied in Iceland. This study aimed to investigate PA and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors among three professions: manual laborers, office workers, and farmers. Material and methods: The participants (73 males, 89 females) underwent anthropometric measurements. Total PA and time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) was assessed with activity monitors. Blood pressure was measured and fasting blood samples analyzed for total cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, insulin and homeostatic model assessment. Results: Male manual laborers and farmers were more physically active than office workers (p |
