传统上，时间使用数据被用来为广泛的经济和社会学研究主题提供信息。时间利用研究的一个新领域是体力活动(PA)和体力活动能量消耗(PAEE)的研究。时间使用数据可用于研究PAEE，方法是使用安斯沃思体力活动简编将MET值分配给日常活动。尽管大多数日记作者准确而详细地记录了他们的日常活动，但他们只被要求记录他们的带薪工作时间，而不是他们承担的特定工作任务。这使得将MET价值分配给付费工作剧集变得困难。在这份方法文件中，我们解释了我们如何利用时间使用调查家庭和个人问卷中包含的关于受访者职业状况的详细信息来解决这一问题。我们使用了2008年《国际劳工组织手册》，这是国际劳工组织关于职称及其相关具体工作任务的词典。我们首先使用Ainsworth纲要(2011)为特定于工作的任务分配MET值，然后通过平均每个职业的所有特定于工作的MET值来计算Isco-08手册中436个职业的MET值。根据ISCO-08标准，“初级职业”和“手工艺及相关行业工人”这两个主要群体在特定职业的MET值方面存在较高的PAEE差异，这两个群体加起来占2013年比利时劳动人口的21.6%。我们建议，应优先考虑这些职业类别，以便进一步深入研究职业活动(OA)。我们开发了一个清晰且可复制的程序来计算所有ISCO-08职业的职业活动。我们所有的计算都附在这份手稿上，其他研究人员可能会使用、复制和改进。本文的在线版本(doi：10.1186/s12889-0174546-7)包含补充材料，授权用户可以使用。
Traditionally, time-use data have been used to inform a broad range of economic and sociological research topics. One of the new areas in time-use research is the study of physical activity (PA) and physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE). Time-use data can be used to study PAEE by assigning MET values to daily activities using the Ainsworth Compendium of Physical Activities. Although most diarists record their daily activities accurately and in detail, they are only required to record their paid working hours, not the job-specific tasks they undertake. This makes it difficult to assign MET values to paid work episodes. In this methodological paper, we explain how we addressed this problem by using the detailed information about respondents’ occupational status included in time-use survey household and individual questionnaires. We used the 2008 ISCO manual, a lexicon of the International Labour Organization of occupational titles and their related job-specific tasks. We first assigned a MET value to job-specific tasks using the Ainsworth compendium (2011) then calculated MET values for each of the 436 occupations in the ISCO-08 manual by averaging all job-specific MET values for each occupation. The ISCO-08 Major Groups of ‘elementary occupations’ and ‘craft and related trades workers’ are associated with high PAEE variation in terms of their job-specific MET values and together represented 21.6% of the Belgian working population in 2013. We recommend that these occupational categories should be prioritised for further in-depth research into occupational activity (OA). We developed a clear and replicable procedure to calculate occupational activity for all ISCO-08 occupations. All of our calculations are attached to this manuscript which other researchers may use, replicate and refine.
