“…Clinical protocols ensued, however mainly utilizing questionnaires and self-rated stress, instead of hormone monitoring, because of convenience during epidemiological surveys. Harmonization of the two approaches has been attempted, however mismatches occasionally occur, as one addresses physiologic aggression, and the other perceived or emotional stress (11,17,22,23,31) . One option to bypass such limitation is the cortisol awakening response (CAR), which represents the difference in cortisol concentration between waketime, and approximately 30 minutes afterwards.…”

“…For logistic reasons CAR could not be registered in this series, only the 30 minutes peak, however both are often related, and might be correlated with metabolic abnormalities (27) . Despite the lack of CAR estimates in the current protocol, the biochemical stress model was preferred for the purposes of objectivity and reproducibility, as psychological stress and burn out have been assessed by a heterogeneous array of questionnaires, scales, instruments and inventories (11,17,22,23,31) . Troubles in the health care population, as alluded to, are not a novelty, notably with regard to shift-working nurses and physicians however encompassing all categories.…”

-Background -Workplace stress has been associated with obesity. Diminished body weight has also been anticipated in some contexts. Objective -In a cohort of healthcare personnel, morning cortisol was compared to nutritional and metabolic variables, aiming to identify the correlates of such marker. Methods -Population n=185, 33.8 ± 9.8 years, 88.1% females, body mass index (BMI) 25.6 ± 4.4 kg/m 2 , included nurses and other nosocomial professionals, the majority with high social-economic status (75.2%). Participants were stratified according to BMI, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and metabolic syndrome (MS).

“…Seguindo a mesma dinâmica, foi observada associação entre alteração percebida na alimentação sob estresse autorreferido e um maior nível de vulnerabilidade ao estresse no trabalho, ou seja, os trabalhadores que afirmaram perceber alteração na alimentação sob estresse apresentaram maior nível de vulnerabilidade ao estresse no trabalho segundo a EVENT. Estes achados corroboram a afirmação de Nevanperä et al [31], que enfatizaram a ocorrência de mudanças na alimentação dos trabalhadores em momentos de estresse. Em níveis mais exacerbados, também já foi relatado que há uma relação significativa entre nível alto de estresse no trabalho e o desenvolvimento de transtornos alimentares, como um mecanismo de enfrentamento para lidar com o estresse e os estados de humor negativos [32].…”

“…Estes achados convergem com os de estudo anterior, no âmbito desta temática, que indicou associação entre burnout, comportamento alimentar e ganho de peso entre mulheres trabalhadoras, enfatizando que em períodos estressantes ocorrem mudanças no comportamento alimentar que se caracterizam pela preferência por doces, refrigerantes e bebidas alcoólicas [31].…”

ABSTRACT Aims:To analyze stress vulnerability in the work context and its effects on feeding. Methods: Cross-sectional study of industrial workers from Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. The occupational stress vulnerability scale (OSVS) and a structured questionnaire were used as instruments. Six sociodemographic and occupational variables (age, sex, schooling, work shift, work sector/unit, duration of employment), level of stress vulnerability (according to the OSVS), in addition to five nutritional variables which took into account self-reported stress rather than the vulnerability evaluated by the OSVS were assessed. Student's t test, Pearson's chi-square test, and linear trend were used for data analysis, and statistical significance was set at 5% (p≤0.05).Results: A total of 309 industrial workers were assessed. The mean age was 30.9±10.1 years; 60.2% were women; 44.7% had attended high school; and 25.5% had finished elementary school. The median duration of employment was about 23 months (interquartile range of 7-57); 81.6% worked during the day, and 18.4% at night. The mean score of stress vulnerability was 22±11.6 points; 249 (80.6%) workers were classified at the lower levels of stress vulnerability and 60 (19.4%) at the upper ones. There was association between increased stress vulnerability according to the OSVS and self-reported changes in feeding (p=0.028). The prevalence of high stress vulnerability increased (p = 0.034) with duration of employment (p = 0.034). Under self-reported stress, women had more hunger, changes in feeding, and preference for sweets (p <0.001). Conclusions:The industrial workers showed prevalence of lower levels of stress vulnerability, with pressure at work representing the main stressor. Higher levels of stress vulnerability were associated with increased duration of employment as well as with the perception that work causes stress and interferes in feeding. The finding that, under a self-reported occupational stress condition, the prevalence of perceived change in feeding was higher among women, associated with increased hunger and preference for sweets, indicates a greater vulnerability of this group, with potential risks for health problems.

The aim of this study was to compare obesity prevalences in the occupational groups of Western Siberia with the national data. Materials and methods: We performed a single-step cross-sectional study enrolling 4472 employees of 14 occupational groups from Western Siberian institutions and enterprises. Obesity was considered to be present if the body mass index was 30.0 kg/m2; sex, age and education data were obtained with questionnaires. Age-adjusted obesity prevalence in the occupational groups (separately for men and women) was compared with the national data with calculation of odds ratio, attributable risk and 95% confidence interval. Results: Among women the prevalence of obesity was lower in teachers compared with the national data (OR=0.45; 95% CI: 0.31–0.66). Higher obesity prevalence was observed among operating personnel and technical workers (OR=1.69; 95% CI: 1.37–2.09) as well as metallurgy equipment operators (OR=1.65; 95% CI: 1.17–2.31). Among males higher obesity prevalence was registered in top-managers (OR=2.53; 95% CI: 1.80–3.55), operating personnel and technical workers (OR=2.03; 95% CI: 1.59–2.58), civil servants (OR=1.75; 95% CI: 1.27–2.40), and mechanics (OR=1.37; 95% CI: 1.08–1.73). Moreover, in women university education (higher percentage of employees having graduated from a higher professional institution) led to less obesity prevalence. In males no such tendencies were observed. Conclusions: The study allowed to identify the occupational groups of Western Siberia with higher obesity prevalence and to demonstrate the impact of sex and education level on this parameter. The obtained data can make a theoretical and practical basis for primary and secondary prevention of obesity in the workplace.

Occupational burnout, eating behavior, and weight among working women

Abstract: Those experiencing burnout may be more vulnerable to EE and UE and have a hindered ability to make changes in their eating behavior. We recommend that burnout should be treated first and that burnout and eating behavior should be evaluated in obesity treatment.
