Seasonal Work and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Farmers.

CONCLUSIONS: Farmers in this study were physically active, ate consistent diets, and reported high health status ratings throughout the year. Cardiovascular disease risk was positively correlated with age and body mass index (P < .01), and half of young and middle-age farmers reported anxiety and depression problems. Cardiovascular disease risk reduction interventions for farmers should address both physical and emotional aspects of farming. PMID: 29601377 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
