背景：缺乏运动是血脂异常和冠心病的主要危险因素之一。工作资源已被确定为员工活力和体育活动习惯的决定因素。我们的第一个目的是综合分析某制造企业日籍员工的工作资源，通过精力和运动习惯（即体力活动的一个方面）对血脂水平的一系列关系。我们的第二个目的是使用多组路径分析来调查这些关系中的性别差异。方法收集2012年2月至3月进行体检的4543名员工（男性4018人，女性525人）的数据。横断面测量工作资源（工作控制、技能利用、适合的工作、工作意义）、活力、运动习惯、甘油三酯、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）。结果工作资源和精力与运动习惯呈正相关。运动习惯与甘油三酯（男性为- 0.03，女性为- 0.01,p < 0.05）和LDL-C（两性均为- 0.07,p < 0.05）呈负相关。HDL-C与运动习惯呈正相关（男女均为0.03,p < 0.05）。除适宜工作与工作意义性之间存在协方差外，各路径系数在性别上无显著差异。结论较高的工作资源与较强的活力相关，从而形成运动习惯，进而改善血脂水平。需要纵向研究来证明因果关系。
BackgroundPhysical inactivity is one of the major risk factors for dyslipidemia and coronary heart disease. Job resources have been identified as determinants of employees’ vigor and physical activity habits.PurposeOur first purpose was to comprehensively analyze the series of relationships of job resources, through vigor and exercise habit (i.e., one aspect of physical activity), to serum lipid levels in a sample of Japanese employees in a manufacturing company. Our second purpose was to investigate sex differences in these relationships using a multiple-group path analysis.MethodsData were collected from 4543 employees (men = 4018, women = 525) during a medical checkup conducted in February and March 2012. Job resources (job control, skill utilization, suitable jobs, and meaningfulness of work), vigor, exercise habit, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured cross-sectionally.ResultsJob resources and vigor were positively associated with exercise habit in both sexes. Exercise habit was inversely associated with triglyceride (−0.03 in men and −0.01 in women, ps < 0.05) and LDL-C (−0.07 in both sexes, ps < 0.05). HDL-C was positively associated with exercise habit (0.03 in both sexes, ps < 0.05). There was no significant difference by sex in path coefficients, except for the covariance between suitable jobs and meaningfulness of work.ConclusionHigher levels of job resources were associated with greater vigor, leading to exercise habit, which in turn, improved serum lipid levels. Longitudinal studies are required to demonstrate causality.
