Table 1. Summary of previous significant effects in workplaces of demographics on avoidance of stair climbing.

	Demographic (number of studies)
	Weight Status (n = 2)			Carrying large bag (n = 5)			Sex (n = 21)
	OW >a HW	=	HW > OW	Bag > No bag	=	No Bag > Bag	F > M	=	M > F
n =	2	0	0	3	2	0	9	7	5

^a > indicates that one group avoided stairs significantly more than the other, e.g. F > M means females avoided stairs significantly more than males. = indicates no significant differences between the demographic groups for the studies in that column, OW = overweight, HW = healthy weight, F = females, M = males.
