About this study
The aim is to describe physical activity and blood pressure during work and leisure time among Swedish ambulance personnel, and to relate this to work- and lifestyle factors.
Read the detailed description
The work environment for ambulance personnel consists of several factors that might have negative effect on health, for example shift work, long working hours, stress and physical demanding work. Associations between these work-related factors and increased risk of disease, for example cardiovascular- and musculoskeletal disease, have been observed in several studies. However, few studies have specifically been focusing on ambulance personnel.
There is lack of knowledge regarding how work environment factors affect physical activity during work and leisure time among ambulance personnel. Further, the knowledge about blood pressure during work and leisure time is limited for this group.
