“…One high-quality (60) and two low-quality case-control (50, 55) studies found a larger risk for women (gender ratios ranging from 1.36 to 3.43). No difference in the risk estimate between men and women was found in the other high-quality casecontrol study (59) and the cross-sectional studies (48,49). Since these results were not consistent, there is inconclusive evidence for a gender difference for heavy physical workload.…”

“…One high-quality cohort study (58) and one high-quality cross-sectional study (48) found gender ratios of 1.90 and 1.35 respectively. The second high-quality cohort study (51), the high-quality case-control study (59), and a low-quality cross-sectional study (49) did not find a gender difference. Due to the inconsistency of these results there is inconclusive evidence of a gender difference for job demands.…”

“…[5][6][7] Furthermore, there are Swiss studies showing that lower socioeconomic classes are more likely to get incapacitated and that male blue-collar workers and employees with a basic educational level report more back pain than others. 8,9 With respect to gender it could be shown that the social gradient in health is more distinct for men, as women show smaller social inequalities in health. [10][11][12][13][14] It is assumed that these smaller social inequalities in health are partially due to a different distribution of unhealthy employment status categories between women and men.…”

ObjectivesEpidemiological research has confirmed the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and health, but only a few studies considered working conditions in this relationship. This study examined the contribution of physical and psychosocial working conditions in explaining the social gradient in self-rated health. MethodsA representative sample of 10 101 employees, 5003 women and 5098 men, from the Swiss national health survey 2002 was used. SES was assessed according to the EGP-scheme.Working conditions included exposure to physical disturbances, physical strain, job insecurity, monotonous work and handling simultaneous tasks. For data analysis logistic regression analyses were performed. ResultsData show a social gradient for self-rated health (SRH) as well as for physical and psychosocial working conditions. Logistic regression analysis controlling for age, gender and level of employment showed both physical and psychosocial working conditions to be significant predictors of SRH. Physical and psychosocial working conditions such as physical disturbances from work environment, physical strains in doing the job, monotony at work, job insecurity etc. could explain most of the social gradient of SRH in men and women. ConclusionThe study confirmed the relevance of modifiable physical and psychosocial working conditions for reducing social inequality in health. Gender differences need to be considered in epidemiological and intervention studies.3
