Serum Concentration of Protein, Triglyceride, B-Lipoprotein
and Cholesterol in Papua New Guinean Highlanders
J Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol 28: 411-417 1982

Quote from text of the report:

    "A time study showed that they spent 10 hr a day sleeping, only
2 to 4 hr at labor cutting wood, making fences, or working on coffee
plantations, and the rest of the time chatting or being idle."

(Also note that average serum cholesterol was 128 versus 190 for Japanese.)
