Re: Cillekens B, Huysmans MA, Holtermann A, van Mechelen W, Straker L, Krause N, van der Beek AJ, Coenen P. Physical activity at work may not be health enhancing. A systematic review with meta-analysis on the association between occupational physical activity and cardiovascular disease mortality covering 23 studies with 655 892 participants. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2022;48(2):86–98. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3993
After publication of the systematic review (2022;48(2):86-98), authors of one of the original studies that were included in the review got in touch with the authors. They notified the authors that an incorrect effect size from their study had been extracted.
We have republished the paper here with the minor corrections. In the corrected paper the correct effect size has been provided and used for the main and subgroup analyses in this systematic review with meta-analysis. The corrections do not relate to any pervasive error or serious problems with the data, nor did any of the corrections change the conclusions of the paper.
Key terms amendment and correction; cardiovascular disease; meta-analysis; physical activity; systematic review
