这项研究报告了324名有工作的男性、203名有工作的女性和155名女性家庭主妇的社区样本中标准的冠心病危险因素(血脂和脂蛋白、血压、心率、年龄、体重指数)和心理社会变量(工作压力、A型行为、敌意、疾病、医学和心理症状、损害健康的行为)。有工作的女性报告的敌意和疾病比家庭主妇更少，胆固醇水平也比家庭主妇和男性低。工作特征与男女标准的冠状动脉风险因素水平无关，但可以预测男性的医学症状和损害健康的行为。这些发现表明，就业与提高女性的医疗和身体幸福感有关，并指出了工作压力可能对男性健康造成不利影响的行为和心理途径。
This study reports on standard coronary risk factors (plasma lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure, heart rate, age, body mass index) and psychosocial variables (job strain, Type A behavior, hostility, illnesses, medical and psychological symptoms, health-damaging behavior) in a community sample of 324 employed men, 203 employed women, and 155 female homemakers. Employed women reported less hostility and fewer illnesses than homemakers and had lower cholesterol levels than homemakers and men. Job characteristics were unrelated to standard coronary risk factor levels in both sexes, but predicted medical symptoms and health-damaging behavior in men. These findings suggest that employment is associated with enhanced medical and physical well-being among women and point to possible behavioral and psychological pathways by which job strain may adversely influence men's health.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
