Previous studies examining the association between job stress and blood lipids have produced mixed findings. We sought to investigate among Chinese workers.A total of 544 subjects (367 men 177 women) without known diseases from Stress Health in Shenzhen Workers (SHISO) cross-sectional study were analyzed. Job was evaluated by effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model. The associations lipids, such as for cholesterol (TCHO), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) low-density (LDL-C),...
