“…Although several studies examined the relationship between effort-reward imbalance and both mental disorders and health problems among Japanese workers, the present study is the first investigation of the impact of effort-reward imbalance on HRQL 32,34,35) . In addition, the present study adjusted the different variables of work, including job control, work-related social support, which is reported to be related to HRQL, and personality traits, which are reported to be related to adverse effects on health 9,19,14) .…”

“…Adjusting for mediating factors may result in controlling for a part of the effect under study, which contributes to an underestimation of the overall effect of psychosocial work factors on BP (210). To avoid such a limitation, five studies (23,124,157,186,187) evaluated the additional effect of adjusting for lifestyle, cardiovascular risk factors in a supplementary statistical model (ie, sequential adjustment). In all of these studies, this additional adjustment only resulted in a slight change in the effect measures presented.…”

This is the first systematic review and critical synthesis on the adverse effects of psychosocial work factors of the demand-control-support and effort-reward imbalance models on blood pressure. A more consistent effect has been observed among men than women and among studies of higher methodological quality. Evidence-based guidelines for cardiovascular diseases prevention may benefit from these findings.Affiliation: Population health research unit, St-Sacrement hospital,

“…Very few research (46), no one produced in Italy, concern epidemiological studies carried out on working asymptomatic populations, on which prevention activities could be carried out. Considering our preliminary results we believe that work-related stress can cause alterations of liver in occupationally exposed workers.…”

“…The understanding of the effects of stress on the onset and progression of acute and chronic liver diseases has assumed considerable importance (42) and recent studies on animals and clinical evidences in humans are trying to clarify this complex relationship (43)(44)(45). These studies were carried out in a national and international context (40,41,(43)(44)(45) but the hepatic effects of specific exposures such as those related to chronic work stress were evaluated in very few epidemiological studies (46) and the bibliographic database on the topic is seriously incomplete. In literature the priority was given, above all in clinical trials to the effects of stress in patients already suffering from pre-existing liver disease for which the stress acted as an aggravating factor.…”

Introduction: the aim of the study is to evaluate work-related subjective stress in a group of employees, of both sexes, operating in the healthcare and welfare, through the administration of a questionnaire (HSE "Indicator Tool"), specifically developed and officially validated, and to analyze any possible correlations between stress levels taken from the questionnaire scores and the concentrations of three main hepatic parameters (GOT, GPT, GGT). Materials and methods: we studied a final sample of 232 subjects (143 males and 89 females) operating in the health and welfare sector. For research purposes during the medical examination each subject underwent the HSE indicator tool, a collection of information about relevant clinical and medical history and a venous blood sample for the assay of GOT, GPT and GGT. All questionnaires were analyzed using special software provided by the HSE. The results obtained from the questionnaires were statistically compared with the blood concentrations of hepatic parameters. Results: the dimensions found to be critical, associated with a stressful condition (yellow area) or a highly stressful condition (red area), are: managers support, colleagues support, quality of relationships and changes. The Pearson's correlation showed a statistically significant negative correlation (p <0.05) between the mean values of all the critical dimensions and the concentrations of the hepatic parameters, both on the total sample and after subdivision by gender. These results were confirmed in the multiple linear regression analysis, which indicated that the critical dimensions are the main significant variables contributing to the liver parameters alterations. Discussion: preliminary results indicate that a critical perception of stress at work can be statistically associated with increases in mean concentrations of GOT, GPT and GGT in a working asymptomatic population. These results provide a starting point for future studies on this topic, to a greater definition of the link between stress and liver injury, to confirm the effects on the parameters of liver injury (GOT, GPT, GGT) and to investigate possible correlations with the cholestasis parameters (bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase) and serum albumin.

Effort?reward imbalance and physical health among Japanese workers in a recently downsized corporation

Abstract: The ERI model seems to have an impact on the physical health of the downsized Japanese workers, although the results are mixed and are different from those in workers of Western countries.
