PA type (hours/week)
 Walking 3.5 (2.4 to 4.6)* 2.3 (1.2 to 3.4)*
 Cycling 0.4 (0.0 to 0.7)* 0.2 (−0.2 to 0.5)
 Exercise 0.1 (−0.2 to 0.3) 0.0 (−0.2 to 0.3)
 Chores 0.6 (−0.3 to 1.4) −0.3 (−1.2 to 0.6)
PA intensity (hours/week)
 Moderate PA 4.1 (2.6 to 5.5)* 2.0 (0.5 to 3.4)*

OR (95% CI)
Model 2

Sports activities
 Plays sports (yes) 0.9 (0.7 to 1.0) 0.9 (0.7 to 1.1)
 Type of sports (non-individual) 0.9 (0.7 to 1.3) 1.0 (0.7 to 1.3)
 Sports intensity (≥6.0 MET) 1.2 (0.9 to 1.6) 1.2 (0.9 to 1.7)

Reference group: non-shift workers.

Model 1: adjusted for age, gender, educational level, marital status, smoking status and diet; model 2: model 1+adjusted for occupational PA.

*p<0.05.
