“…Our results are consistent with previous prospective studies of high job strain and cardiovascular disease, [8][9][10][11][12][13] metabolic syndrome components, [14][15][16] and prevalent metabolic syndrome, 17 but conflict with a cross-sectional study. 18 One study of job strain and metabolic syndrome observed individuals in the Whitehall II cohort of civil service workers in England for 14 years.…”

“…Prospective studies link high-strain jobs to cardiovascular disease and diabetes [8][9][10][11][12][13] and to individual components of metabolic syndrome, such as hypertension. [14][15][16] Nevertheless, there are few published studies on the association between job strain and metabolic syndrome, particularly in the United States.…”

“…3 Hypertension has been associated with occupational psychosocial stress, especially among men. 26 However, job strain was not associated with stroke among men with hypertension at baseline. Hence, the present study indicates that stroke has a different pattern of risk factors compared with CHD.…”

A longitudinal general population-based study of job strain and risk for coronary heart disease and stroke in Swedish men

et al. 2014

ObjectivesThe aim was to investigate whether psychosocial stress based on the job-demand-control (JDC) model increased the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.SettingSwedish men.ParticipantsThe Primary Prevention Study (PPS) comprises 6070 men born between 1915 and 1925 free from previous history of CHD and stroke at baseline (1974–1977). Psychosocial workplace exposure was assessed using a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for the JDC model based on occupation at baseline. The participants were followed from baseline examination, until death, until hospital discharge or until 75 years of age, whichever occurred first, using the Swedish national register on cause of death and the Swedish hospital discharge register for non-fatal and fatal stroke and CHD events. Cox regression models were used with stroke or CHD as the outcome, using JDC model and age as explanatory variables, as well as stratified models with regard to smoking, self-reported stress, socioeconomic status, obesity, hypertension and diabetes.Primary and secondary outcome measuresRisk for stroke and CHD.ResultsThere was an increased risk (HR) for CHD in relation to high strain (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.70). The risk was further increased among ever-smokers and among blue-collar workers. There was a relation between low control and increased risk for CHD (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.35). There was no increased risk for stroke in any of the JDC categories.ConclusionsExposure to occupational psychosocial stress defined as job strain or low control increased the risk for CHD, especially among smokers and blue-collar workers. There was no increased risk for stroke in any of the JDC categories.

“…Furthermore, the job demand-control model has been criticized for being more valid for men, with generally larger effect sizes or effects only present in men. 20,22 Thus, this could explain why we only found associations between job strain and PD in high-educated men.…”

Occupational stress and risk for Parkinson's disease: A nationwide cohort study

et al. 2018

Background: Stress has been suggested as a contributing factor in the etiology of Parkinson's Disease (PD), but epidemiological evidence is sparse. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the association between occupational stress according to the job demands‐control model and the risk for PD. Methods: We conducted a population‐based cohort study with 2,544,748 Swedes born 1920 to 1950 who had an occupation reported in the population and housing censuses in 1980 or, if missing, in 1970. Job demands and control were measured using a job‐exposure matrix. Incident PD cases were identified using Swedish national health registers from 1987 to 2010. Data were analyzed with Cox regression with age as the underlying time scale, adjusting for sex, education, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a proxy for smoking. Results: During a mean follow‐up time of 21.3 years, 21,544 incident PD cases were identified. High demands were associated with increased PD risk among men, most evident in men with high education. High control was associated with increased PD risk among the low educated. This association was more pronounced in women. High‐strain jobs (high demands and low control) was only associated with increased PDrisk among men with high education, whereas active jobs (high demands and high control) were associated with increased PD risk among men with low education. Interpretation: High job demands appear to increase PD risk in men, especially in men with high education, whereas high job control increases PD risk among low educated, more strongly in women. © 2018 The Authors.
