Objectives The aims of this position paper are to (i) summarize research on precarious employment (PE) in the context occupational health; (ii) develop a theoretical framework that distinguishes PE from related concepts and delineates important contextual factors; (iii) identify key methodological challenges directions for future health. Methods This is result working group consisting researchers EU, Turkey USA, who have discussed issue over course six months (October 2018-April 2019),...
Exposures at work have a major impact on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Current risk reduction policies and strategies are informed by existing scientific evidence, which is limited due to the challenges of studying complex relationship between exposure outside health. We define working life exposome as all occupational related nonoccupational exposures. The latter includes exposures that may be directly or indirectly influenced interact with individual in their relation Exposome Project...
Abstract Objective Within the scope of Exposome Project for Health and Occupational Research on applying exposome concept to working life health, we aimed provide a broad overview status knowledge occupational exposures associated health effects across multiple noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) help inform research priorities. Methods We conducted narrative review risk factors that can be considered have “consistent evidence an association,” or where there is “limited/inadequate association” 6...
Exposure to air pollution including diesel engine exhaust (DEE) is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Few studies have investigated the AMI according occupational exposure DEE. The aim this study was evaluate association between DEE and first-time AMI. a register-based cohort Danish working population included 903,415 individuals aged 35-50 years in 1995. estimates were assigned by linking quantitative job matrix individual history (1976-2017). National...
Objectives The objective was to investigate if high physical workload during pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes. Methods register-based cohort, DOC*X-Generation included employed pregnant women in Denmark (1977–2018). A summary score of workloads, based on a job exposure matrix eight work activities, linked the held (coded by DISCO-88). divided into five groups from low exposure. Data miscarriages were retrieved Danish National Patient Register. Preterm birth (PTB) and small for...
Abstract Introduction Outdoor workers are exposed to high levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR). UVR causes skin cancer and is a risk factor for cataract other short- long-term health effects, but there significant knowledge gaps regarding the exposure-response relations based on quantitative measures exposure. We developed job-exposure matrix (JEM) general working population Europe. Methods Three experts from each Northern, Central, Southern Europe rated duration outdoor work all 372...
Abstract The Nordic countries benefited from declines in cervical cancer incidence rates due to the implementation of screening programmes. However, it is unclear whether all social groups have equally these preventive services. We provide an assessment temporal trends by socioeconomic position (SEP) Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden, using data Occupational Cancer Study. Truncated age‐standardized 95% confidence intervals (CI) per 100,000 person‐years were computed for women aged 50–69...
We aimed to investigate the association between occupational exposure respirable crystalline quartz (RCQ) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a Danish register-based cohort (DOC*X Dust, n = 903,415). Through 1976–2017, information on occupation was linked quantitative estimates of RCQ, obtained from job-exposure matrix SYN-JEM. The follow-up period (1996–2018) counted 19,357,326 person-years, where 35,511 first-time AMIs occurred, according hospital contacts. Incidence rate ratios...
Background Lack of knowledge about the occurrence work-related health problems in general population makes it difficult to estimate potential for their prevention workplace.
Objectives The aim of this study was to quantify socioeconomic inequalities in low-back pain, neck–shoulder and arm pain the general working population Oslo examine impact job characteristics on these inequalities. Methods All economically active 30-, 40-, 45-year-old persons who attended health 2000–2001 answered questions physical demands, autonomy, musculoskeletal were included (N=7293). Occupational class used as an indicator status. lower occupational classes compared with higher grade...
To identify individual and work-related predictors of long-term (>8 weeks) sickness absence with psychiatric diagnoses (LSP).Data from the Oslo Health Study (response rate 46%) were linked to public registers. A total 8333 subjects followed 2001 through 2005. Cox regression was used compute hazard ratios for LSP.At least one LSP present in 7.8% women 3.9% men. Poor support superior had an independent moderate effect. Path linear analyses indicated that effect mediated mental distress not...
Objectives The aim of this study was to (i) construct and evaluate a gender-specific job exposure matrix (JEM) for mechanical psychosocial work exposures (ii) test its predictive validity low-back pain. Methods We utilized data from the Norwegian nationwide Survey Living Conditions on environment in 2006 2009. classified occupations 4-digit level based version International Standard Classification Occupations (ISCO-88). information collected by personal telephone interviews included that...
Health practitioners and decision makers in the medical insurance systems need knowledge on work-relatedness of burnout. To gather most reliable information regarding burnout diagnosis recognition Europe, we used an 8-item standard questionnaire sent by e-mail to occupational health specialists identified via Network Coordination Harmonization European Occupational Cohorts (OMEGA-NET) within Cooperation Science Technology (COST) Action. Participation rate was 100%, completed for 37...
Mounting evidence indicates increased risk of COVID-19 among healthcare personnel, but the on risks in other occupations is limited. In this study, we quantify occupational COVID-19-related hospital admission Denmark during 2020-2021.The source population included 2.4 million employees age 20-69 years. All information was retrieved from public registers. The related examined 155 with at least 2000 (at-risk, N=1 620 231) referenced to a group mainly office workers defined by job exposure...
To determine the influence of work-related risk factors by gender on long-term sickness absence with musculoskeletal diagnoses (LSM).Data from Oslo Health Study were linked to historical event database Statistics Norway. Eight thousand three hundred thirty-three participants followed 2001 through 2005. Generalized linear models used compute differences for LSM.In total, 12.6% women and 8.8% men experienced at least one LSM. Statistically, significant LSM increases between 0.039 0.086 in...
Objectives The aim of this discussion paper is to (i) identify the differentiated roles health in work–retirement transition, and, with respect these, (ii) highlight topics related conceptual and methodological problems challenges research, (iii) present avenues for future research. Methods This summarizes an OMEGA-NET working group ongoing from November 2018 September 2021 face-to-face online meetings as well a written discourse. Results 'Health' 'retirement' are ambiguous concepts. With...
