Perhaps predictably, those with occupations involving heavy manual labour saw a reduction in physical activity over retirement.

This reminds me of Leonie Glasson's study of physical activity changes at retirement (at the other end of the working life). She found that physical activity increased when people retired, primarily driven by those retiring from sedentary or standing occupations. doi.org/10.1016/j.yp...

As the BMJ article says, this comes from Ogilvie et al. Read it: doi.org/10.1136/bmjg...

Higher walkability was associated with more takeaway availability. This is presumably because both are more likely in more dense/urban areas.

Work with @jennapanter.bsky.social, David Ogilvie, @jhoenink.bsky.social, @thomasburgoine.bsky.social, Stephen Sharp, Sam Hajna and @jhoenink.bsky.social from @mrcepid.bsky.social (past and present).

Interestingly, we found that accounting for walkability in analyses of takeaways and vice versa led to more consistent findings. This suggests the importance of accounting for multiple aspects of the environment that are relevant to the same outcome and are highly related to one another.
