“…This double effect is described in a few of the reviews, such as Fine's (I) and Kurppa et ai's (6), while reviews on the topic were still being published during the I980s which only or almost exclusively describe nitrate withdrawal and "Monday morning attacks" (2,3,5,277).…”

“…In several more recent reviews, lead is not mentioned at all (3,4,7,8), while the topic is treated very briefly with a maximum of three references in others (1,2,5,9,12). Only in the early review by Warshaw from 1960 (13), in Kurppa et ai's review of 1984 (6), and in the reports of Rosenman (10,11) is a reasonably thorough discussion of the possible lead-CVD relationship included. These authors give six to twelve empirical references.…”

“…A few authors dealt with the topic rather extensively (6,10,11,13), but none gave more than 10 references.

A review of cardiovascular disease (CVD) resulting from environmental exposures pointed out the lack of studies concerned with the cardiovascular effects of hazardous environmental exposures. A later Working Group report on CVD in the workplace recommended further occupational studies of CVD, and it identified carbon monoxide, nitrates, and organic solvents as exposures especially deserving of study. The literature lacks a detailed, critical epidemiologic overview of work on this last topic. Therefore, the following review focuses on the cardiovascular effects of solvent exposures. Some major difficulties inherent in studies of CVD and environmental exposures are brought out, and some suggested areas for future epidemiologic research are discussed.

The demand‐control‐support model: Methodological challenges for future research

1995

The demand‐control‐support model was developed by R. Karasek and his colleagues during the 1980s. The model operates with three main dimensions: job demands, job decision latitude and job social support. According to the model, workers with jobs characterized by high demands, low decision latitude and low social support (so‐called iso‐strain) have a higher risk of poor psychological well‐being and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The model has been tested in relation to CVD in 16 epidemiological studies of which only two have been negative. Moreover, the model has been used in studies with a large number of other endpoints. Recently the model and the methods used in connection with the model have been criticized by several research workers. In this article the studies on iso‐strain and CVD are reviewed and a number of methodological problems are discussed. It is recommended that future studies are prospective and use non‐representative population samples of well‐chosen occupations. Each of the key variables ‐job stressors, stress and sickness ‐ should be measured in three independent ways in order to increase the methodological and theoretical strength of the research performed.
