“…A longitudinal study by Parkes et al (2) found no interaction between age and physical work demands as risk factors for worsened SRH, but this study was limited by very low statistical power with only 314 participants. Aittomäki et al (12) found that the association of physical work demands with poor health was stronger among older than younger employees (12); however, the cross-sectional study design did not permit causal inference.…”

Burr H, Pohrt A, Rugulies R, Holtermann A, Hasselhorn HM. Does age modify the association between physical work demands and deterioration of self-rated general health? Scand J Work Environ Health. 2017;43(3):241-249. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3625 Objective Due to the growing proportion of older employees in the work force in several countries, the importance of age in the association between work and health is becoming increasingly relevant. Few studies have investigated whether age modifies the association of physical work demands with health. We hypothesized that the association of demanding body postures with deteriorated self-rated health (SRH) is stronger among older employees than among younger employees.Method We analyzed three 5-year cohorts in the Danish Work Environment Cohort Study comprising 8318 observations from 5204 employees (follow-up participation rate 83%) with good baseline SRH. Physical work demands were assessed as demanding body postures. Age was divided into tertiles; young (18-32 years), middle-aged (33-43 years) and old (44-59 among men and 44-54 years among women). Poor SRH ("fairly good", "poor", and "very poor") was measured with a single item. Log binomial regressions were stratified by gender. Effect modification (ie, interaction) was defined as deviation from additivity and examined by calculating the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). The reference group was employees aged 18-32 years with low physical exposure.Results When predicting deterioration of SRH, an interaction between demanding body postures and age was found among men [RERI: 0.75, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.16-1.34, regarding the age group 44-59 years] and among women (RERI: 0.84, 95% CI 0.19-1.34, for the age group 33-43 years; and 1.17, 95% CI 0.42-1.93, for the age group 44-54 years). ConclusionThe study findings suggest that demanding body postures have a stronger impact on health among older compared to younger employees.

“…Exposure to high physical work demands, ie, demanding body postures, repetitive movements, and heavy lifting, has been found to increase the risk for subsequent development of poor self-rated health (SRH) (1)(2)(3). SRH is a powerful global indicator of health as it strongly predicts morbidity and mortality (4)(5)(6).…”

“…Bagi responden yang pulang setiap hari, waktu untuk berolahraga menjadi kendala karena sudah lelah selama seharian bekerja, sementara bagi yang tinggal di lokasi saat selesai bekerja lebih memilih istirahat dibandingkan melakukan kegiatan olahraga. Penelitian Parkes, 15 menyatakan bahwa olahraga secara teratur dapat menurunkan berat badan, mengurangi stres, mengendalikan kadar gula darah, memperbaiki kadar insulin, dan mencegah diabetes tipe 2.…”

AbstrakBeberapa tahun terakhir angka obesitas di Indonesia cenderung meningkat. Obesitas terjadi akibat ketidakseimbangan antara asupan dan output energi dalam jangka waktu cukup lama. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor risiko kejadian obesitas pada pekerja on shore di perusahaan minyak dan gas. Desain penelitian ini adalah studi cross sectional. Sampel yang diteliti adalah seluruh pekerja on shore (laki-laki maupun perempuan) berusia 35 -55 tahun yang sesuai dan memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi yang telah ditetapkan (n = 378). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prevalensi obesitas (IMT ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ) pada pekerja on-shore sebesar 49,5%. Variabel umur, tingkat pendidikan, status pegawai, asupan energi, karbohidrat, dan serat memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan kejadian obesitas (nilai p < 0,05). Faktor yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan kejadian obesitas adalah tingkat pendidikan (OR = 2,85; 95%CI = 1,240 -6,502). Tingginya prevalensi obesitas pada pekerja memerlukan perhatian yang lebih serius dari pihak perusahaan dalam menanggulangi masalah obesitas melalui upaya peningkatan program komunikasi, informasi, dan edukasi gizi yang lebih terarah dan terprogram serta perlu dilakukan sosialisasi untuk memantau berat badan dan lingkar pinggang-panggul secara rutin untuk mencegah timbulnya penyakit jantung koroner. Kata kunci: Obesitas, pekerja, asupan energi AbstractIn the last few years the incidence of obesity in Indonesia tends to increase. Obesity is caused by an imbalance between energy intake and output in a long term. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors in the incidence of obesity of the workers on-shore oil and gas companies. This research designed by cross sectional study.The subject of this research was on shore workers of oil and gas company (male and female) aged 35 -55 years old in East Kalimantan and were eligible for inclusion and exclusion criteria (n = 378). The results showed that the prevalence of obesity of on- Obesitas pada Pekerja Minyak dan GasObesity among Oil and Gas Workers Dilla Christina, Ratu Ayu Dewi Sartika shore workers was as high as 49.5% (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ). Age, level of education, employement status, energy, carbohydrate, and fiber intake were associated with obesity (p value < 0,05). The most dominant factor associated with obesity was level of education (OR = 2,85; 95%CI = 1,240 -6,502). The high prevalence of obesity in the workers need more serious attention from the company in overcoming the problem of obesity, by enhancing the EIC program with more focused and sustainable, and need to socialize monitoring of body weight and waist-hip circumference regularly to prevent coronary heart disease.Key words: Obesity, workers, energy intake PendahuluanGizi lebih dan obesitas telah menjadi epidemi kesehatan masyarakat global selama hampir satu dekade dan mulai menjadi perhatian publik karena hubungannya dengan berbagai kondisi kesehatan kronis. 1 Epidemi tersebut terjadi akibat perubahan yang sangat cepat akan gaya hidup dan perilaku di neg...

“…Moreover, negative self-rated health is associated with higher frequency of chronic diseases 10 , smoking over 20 cigarettes a day, insufficient levels of physical activities 11,12 , low weight or obesity 13 , female sex, advanced age, low educational background and compromised health 14 . Some studies have shown that physically active men present better self-rated health compared to the insufficiently active ones [15][16][17] . Others point out regular practice of physical activity as predictor of positive self-rated health 15 , and, therefore, it is believed that different associated factors may boost even more the wellness of physically active individuals, reinforcing the need of research which evidences this correlation.…”

introduction: Self-rated positive health seems to be associated with various factors in the general population. Among active men, the association with such traits seems to be unclear. Objective: This work has aimed to verify the factors associated with self-rated positive health in active young men. Material and Methods: cross sectional research was carried out with a sample of 695 male conscripts, taken from the male population (age of 18 years), in the mandatory army enlisting process. The study variables were: socio-economic status, marital status, education, work, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, regular physical activity practice and self-rated health. in order to analyze the data likelihood, ratio tests were calculated and hierarchical logistic regression analysis applied. Results: Association between self-rated positive health and high education -eight or more years (OR=3.38; Ci 95%; 1.83-6.23), and nonsmoking (OR=3.42; Ci 95%; 1.69-6.92) was found. When the analysis was adjusted to social-demographic variables, high education (OR=3.05; Ci 95%; 1.63-5.73), and non-smoking (OR=3.03; Ci 95%; 1.47-6.25) kept on the model being associated with self-rated positive health. Conclusion: Such findings suggest the need to develop intervention strategies in an intersectional and multi-professional manner in the public health departments, related to risk behavior and social factors.
