背景资料。工作条件影响健康，但以前关于工作相关因素和健康行为之间关系的研究很少。本研究的目的是分析不良工作条件是否与饮食、体力活动、饮酒和吸烟有关。这些数据来自2000-2001年收集的赫尔辛基市40至60岁雇员的邮寄问卷(n=6243，答复率：68%)。使用Logistic回归分析来检验健康行为作为结果。工作需求和工作控制、体力劳动和脑力劳动、工作疲劳、加班和对工作-家庭界面的满意度是自变量，调整了年龄、教育程度、职业社会阶层和婚姻状况。大多数被检查的工作条件和健康行为之间的联系在统计上并不显著。在女性中，精神紧张的工作和高度的工作控制力与健康的饮食有关。工作疲劳与缺乏身体活动有关，而身体紧张的工作和对工作与家庭接口的满意度更多地由身体活跃的女性报告。工作疲劳与男性酗酒有关。不吸烟女性的工作压力较小，而男性中加班与不吸烟有关。工作条件与健康行为只有微弱的联系，而且不同的健康行为的联系是不同的。(C)2003美国健康基金会和爱思唯尔公司。保留所有权利。
Background. Working conditions influence health, but previous studies on the associations between work-related factors and health behaviours are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyse whether unfavourable working conditions are associated with diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking.Methods. The data derive from postal questionnaires collected in 2000-2001 from 40- to 60-year-old employees of the City of Helsinki (n = 6243, response rate: 68%). Logistic regression analysis was used to examine health behaviours as outcomes. Job demands and job control, physically and mentally strenuous work, work fatigue, working overtime and satisfaction with work-home interface were independent variables, adjusted for age, education, occupational social class and marital status.Results. Most of the examined associations between working conditions and health behaviours were not statistically significant. Among women, mentally strenuous work and high job control were associated with a healthy diet. Work fatigue was associated with physical inactivity, whereas physically strenuous work and satisfaction with work-home interface were more often reported by physically active women. Work fatigue was associated with high drinking among men. Low job strain was reported by nonsmoking women, whereas working overtime was associated with nonsmoking among men.Conclusions. Working conditions were only weakly associated with health behaviours, and the associations varied for different health behaviours. (C) 2003 American Health Foundation and Elsevier Inc.
