The aim of this study was to (i) investigate the consequences self-rostering for working hours, recovery, and health, (ii) elucidate mechanisms through which recovery health are affected.Twenty eight workplaces were allocated either an intervention or reference group. Intervention A encompassed possibility specify preferences starting time length shift down 15 minutes intervals. Interventions B C included opportunity choose between a number predefined duties. Questionnaires (N=840) on...
A higher incidence of asthma is reported in women compared with men, but evidence later adulthood limited. We aimed to determine the 20-year cumulative adult Switzerland and its relation sex, taking into account age allergic sensitisation. assessed self-report doctor-diagnosed between 1991/1992 2010/2011 5128 subjects without asthma, aged 18–60 years at baseline. The age-related probability onset was analysed by logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders stratified sex...
Objective. By linkage of national registries, we investigated the risk longterm sickness absence (LTSA) ≥ 3 weeks in a large cohort Danish patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and non-patients. The study aimed to (1) estimate LTSA for RA compared general population, (2) examine whether has changed recent years, (3) evaluate effect other factors (e.g., physical work demands, age, sex, education, psychiatric somatic comorbidities). Methods. A total 6677 aged 18–59 years 1994–2011 were...
Sickness absence has been used as a central indicator of work disability, but mainly examined in single diseases, with limited follow-up time. This study identified the risk long-term sickness (LTSA) 32 chronic disease groups first year after diagnosis and subsequent years.We prevalent force (26 physical 6 mental conditions) requiring all levels care (primary, secondary, tertiary), by national registers diagnoses from hospital visits prescribed medicine Denmark 1994 to 2011.A general...
The aim was to study work ability in patients with RA compared the general population by investigating rates and risks of long-term sickness absence, unemployment disability pension, chance returning changes these over time (1994-2011).This a cohort up 17 years follow-up (mean 6.95 years/person) including 6677 working age (identified nationwide DANBIO registry) 56 955 matched controls from population. A multi-state model used analyse all shifts between work-related states (long-term as well...
Although evidence for the heterogeneity of asthma accumulated, consensus definitions phenotypes is still lacking. Obesity may have heterogeneous effects on various phenotypes. We aimed to distinguish by latent class analysis and investigate their associations with different obesity parameters in adults using a population-based Swiss cohort (SAPALDIA).We applied 959 self-reported asthmatics information disease activity, atopy, age onset. Associations were examined multinomial logistic...
To explore why people who have active work and experience suboptimal health avoided using a multipurpose in-house promotion service in the Danish police.Data were first collected via an electronic survey (N=6060) subsequently 25 telephone interviews targeting nonusers perceived their to be suboptimal.Many with wished change behaviors, but did not use service. Reasons both individual (eg, laziness) organizational delivery of service).Although many reported barriers are more nature, increased...
<h3>Background</h3> Long term sickness absence (LTSA), unemployment and early retirement are some of the most important outcomes rheumatoid arthritis (RA), both for patient society. Historically, RA patients have increased risk LTSA disability pension. Modern treatment strategies improved disease control in last decades, a decreased pension during later years been reported. It is not known whether this represents disease-specific decline or if reduction merely reflects general, due to...

The association of obesity and asthma has been described in children adults. However, whether a different life course weight men women may explain gender differences incidence, not addressed. Using data from the Swiss Cohort Study on Air Pollution Lung Heart Diseases Adults, we investigated role overweight/obesity as measured by body silhouettes at stages for incidence. Our analysis included 5417 subjects who were free age 8, followed up to 2011, had complete covariate information. main...
