“…After a complete review of the full articles, 87 studies were excluded because they: (i) did not measure the psychosocial work factors of the DCS and/or ERI models (N=39) (39-77), (ii) did not individually assess exposure to psychosocial factors (N=3) (78)(79)(80), (iii) comprised a population of high school students (not a working population) (N=1) (81), (iv) included <100 participants (N=13) (82)(83)(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91)(92)(93); (v) were not written in English or French (N=4) (94)(95)(96)(97), (vi) were not published in a peer-reviewed publication (N=16) (11,(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107)(108)(109)(110)(111)(112), (vii) did not measure BP (N=8) (70,(113)(114)(115)(116)(117)(118)(119), or (viii) did not distinctly evaluate exposure to psychosocial work factors (N=3) (120)…”

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,

“…As a matter of fact, an underestimation of the prevalence of self-reported MSP symptoms among men was evident during the physical examinations and interviews. Moreover, in a controlled study on a larger population of reindeer herding Sami, we have shown that physical wellbeing is assessed as poor among the herders, particularly among men, indicating dissatisfaction with their physical health (15).…”

Objective. To investigate the prevalence and to identify causes of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) among reindeer herding Sami, and to evaluate the impact on the MSP symptoms elicited by an intervention-prevention programme (IP programme). Study Design. A prospective cohort study in which alterations in MSP symptoms were documented over a two-year period. Methods. Data were collected from 51 reindeer herders (26 men, 25 women) before and after a two-year IP programme. Information on MSP characteristics (affected body regions, pain duration and pain intensity) and exposure to a number of physical and psychosocial risk factors were collected as part of comprehensive health examinations. Clinical examinations and interviews complemented self-reported data collected through questionnaires. Results. MSP symptoms were prevalent, both among women and men. High exposure to physical risk factors, to a large extent related to extensive use of snowmobiles and motorcycles, was the main cause of MSP among men, while psychosocial risk factors were suggested to be more important among women. About one-third of the reindeer herders reported fewer MSP symptoms as a result of the IP programme. Conclusions. This pilot study suggests that it is possible to reduce the number and the severity of the MSP symptoms among reindeer herders by implementing suitably tailored interventionprevention measures.

“…The young Norwegian Sami consume less alcohol than the non-Sami in the same geographical setting, and the young Sami with a more traditional Sami lifestyle have the lowest alcohol consumption (21)(22)(23). No difference in alcohol consumption has been found in Swedish studies of reindeer-herding Sami, other Sami and non-Sami (24,25).…”

Objectives. Unnatural deaths among Indigenous populations, including the Swedish Sami, occur more often than among the general population. To find prevention strategies, we explored the circumstances of the unnatural deaths of members of reindeer-herding Sami families. Study design. The number of deaths from among a cohort of 7,482 members of reindeer-herding Sami families were retrieved from the National Board of Health and Welfare for the years 1961- 2001.Methods. An evaluation of the information from autopsy records at the National Board of Forensic Medicine, police reports, and available medical records identified 158 unnatural deaths. These were then analysed in detail. Results. Transport-related deaths and suicides were the most common unnatural deaths among Swedish reindeer-herding Sami family members. Suicides contributed to 23% of all deaths, road traffic accidents to 16%, and snowmobile fatalities to 11%. The accidents generally reflected an "outdoor lifestyle" and the working conditions were characterized by the use of off-road vehicles such as snowmobiles. Half of the number of victims tested positive for alcohol and alcohol abuse was documented in 15% of all victims. Conclusions. The results indicate that alcohol is an important factor in preventing unnatural deaths among reindeer-herding Sami, together with increased safety of both on-road and off-road transportation.

Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases among Swedish Sami — a controlled cohort study

Abstract: Previously reported differences in CVD mortality between Sami and non-Sami, and Sami men and women, can only partly be explained by different exposure to the psychosocial and behaviour risk factors investigated in this study.
