“…In within-subject designs, the participants served as their own controls, and confounding of extended hours with psychosocial job characteristics and other factors was less likely to occur. Five studies (30,31,44,45,48) did not control for covariates and reported only univariate between-subject associations.

“…A total of six studies (30,31,42,44,45) included measures of fatigue. Five of these (30,31,44,45) used the fatigue symptoms scale that was developed by the Japanese Association of Industrial Health. In some, a distinction was made between three types of symptoms, and in some the questionnaire was filled out both before and after work.…”

“…However, some work conditions are associated to a risk of developing arterial hypertension independently from age [7,8]. A higher frequency of arterial hypertension has been described in relation to labor factors such as greater antiquity at work [9], time at work -hours in a week (long working hours) [10], psychological stress, and shift work [11].…”

SummaryFew studies have examined the professional risk factors for hypertension, especially in relation to aging of work force. This paper shows which working risk factors represent a major risk factor for arterial hypertension in workers who work in the construction of the railway line "TAV" (High-speed trains) for the connection between Italy and France.A population of workers TAV were examined by questionnaires survey Estev, validated in France. Arterial pressure, obtained after about 30 minutes after the end of the work, was measured in clinostatic position, measuring it three times and using the average value obtained. Subjects considered high-blood pressure sufferers presented values of systolic arterial pressure higher than 140 mmHg, and/or a diastolic pressure equal or higher than 90 mmHg, following the criteria indicated by the WHO.The champion of workers were all male. In more of the half of sample was found high blood pressure. The data analysis showed the highest prevalence of hypertension in the drivers of heavy vehicles. The job that requires prolonged attention was resulted the main occupational risk factor associated with hypertension.The excess of risk for the over 45 year olds requires corrective interventions of an organizational nature, like for example the alternation of heavier tasks and/or the increase of work breaks, to allow older workers to dilute the amount of work load and reduce the chances of arterial hypertension risk and more in general of risks for the cardiovascular system.

“…The association found between prolonged work and risk of acute coronary disease [19,20], could be explained with an excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system and a rise in arterial pressure levels, together with a reduced activation of the parasympathetic system which in turn, constitutes a risk factor for CHD [21]. After all, arterial hypertension has been associated with work correlated stress [22], a situation that is notoriously associated to an activation of the adrenergic system, to extended work time [23,24] and shift work [3].…”

For many years the Florentine area has been involved in carrying out big, infrastructure projects. These projects are very complex and the workforce employed to construct them, coming from all parts of Italy and also from abroad, are represented by workers with a high level of specialization, exposed to several and harmful risk factors. The majority live far from their family for long periods of time, mainly in base camps far from residential areas, sometimes isolated, without the possibility of dedicating their free time to social, cultural, sport and/or recreational activities. The objective of our study is to evaluate in this category of workers which working risk factors and styles of life represent a major risk factor for arterial hypertension which, in turn, significantly increases cardiovascular risk. A significant majority of workers carry out mansions of carpenter/soldered and of machine/excavator driver, in charge of dirt handling. The sample also includes numerous miners and drivers. The workers' average age is 45 years old and a high working seniority. Arterial hypertension is present in 139 subjects, equaling to 54% of the sample. The distribution of frequency of arterial hypertension is greater in the class of drivers, followed by the class of site managers and construction machines/excavator drivers. It is believed that the risk factors to which the workers studied are exposed, constitute elements that facilitate the onset of a state of arterial hypertension; among these, the stress correlated to a task which requires, lengthened attention and concentration, resulted as being the most important factor.Keywords: Workforce; Hypertension; Cardiovascular risk; Workers SummaryFor many years the Florentine area has been involved in carrying out big, infrastructure projects: construction of highways, viaducts and railroad tunnels for high speed trains. These projects are very complex and the workforce employed to construct them, coming from all parts of Italy and also from abroad, are represented by workers with a high level of specialization, exposed to several and harmful risk factors. The majority live far from their family for long periods of time, mainly in base camps far from residential areas, sometimes isolated, without the possibility of dedicating their free time to social, cultural, sport and/or recreational activities. The objective of our study is to evaluate in this category of workers which working risk factors and styles of life represent a major risk factor for arterial hypertension which, in turn, significantly increases cardiovascular risk. 257 workers were subject to three investigation instruments, following the French ESTEV methodology [1], modified in Italy by Barbini and Squadroni [2] and later by Barbini, Bigger [3]: one questionnaire was on professional conditions, one on the styles of extra work life, and was a medical questionnaire to obtain the objective health conditions of the workers. A significant majority of workers carry out mansions of carpenter/ solderer and ...
