本文对某金属制衣厂6676名工人（男性4243人，女性2433人，年龄20-58岁）进行了横断面研究，以阐明工作特征（如工作需求/控制/支持、久坐工作、加班和轮班工作）与腰臀比（WHR）和身体质量指数（BMI）之间的关系，并考虑了饮酒、吸烟、锻炼和其他心理社会因素（如教育和婚姻状况）。通过逐步多元回归分析，BMI与男性轮班工作、婚姻状况和久坐工作有关，与锻炼有关，但与女性受教育程度呈负相关。腰宽比还与轮班工作、饮酒、婚姻状况和久坐工作相关，但与男性的锻炼呈负相关；与久坐工作、婚姻状况和教育程度相关，但与女性的吸烟呈负相关。这些结果表明，在试图防止BMI和WHR增加时，还应考虑久坐不动和轮班工作等工作特征。
A cross-sectional study on 6,676 workers consisting of 4,243 males and 2,433 females aged 20-58 yr in a metal product factory was conducted to elucidate the relationship between work characteristics, e.g. job demand/control/support, sedentary job, overtime work and shift work, and waist to hip ratio (WHR) as well as body mass index (BMI) taking alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise and other psychosocial factors such as education and marital status into account. By a stepwise multiple regression analysis, BMI was associated with shift work, marital status and sedentary job for males, and with exercise but inversely associated with education for females. WHR was also associated with shift work, alcohol consumption, marital status and sedentary job but inversely associated with exercise for males, and with sedentary job, marital status and education but inversely associated with smoking for females. These results suggest that work characteristics such as sedentary job and shift work should also be considered when trying to prevent increases in BMI and WHR.
