How Do Occupational Sedentary Behavior and Occupational Cognitive Complexity Relate to Cognitive Function? A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Lower occupational cognitive complexity (OCC) and physical inactivity have been associated with advanced brain aging and cognitive decline in older adulthood. We examined whether the association of occupational sedentary time with cognitive function remains after adjustment for OCC and education. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included participants from the Framingham Heart Study who did not have dementia, were not retired or unemployed, and completed the neuropsychology and occupation assessments, and wore an accelerometer for at least 3 days ( Results: Higher self-reported occupational sedentary time ("often/always" compared to "never/seldom") was associated with higher cognitive function after adjusting for age, sex, and LTPA (beta = 0.72 [SE = 0.21], 0.76 [0.18], and 0.04 [0.01], for LMD, SIM, Trails B-A, respectively, all with Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the association of higher occupational sedentary time with higher cognitive function was partially explained by a combination of higher OCC and education level. Occupations with higher OCC, may contribute to cognitive resilience despite these occupations being more sedentary.
