Objectives: Associations between two alternative formulations of job stress derived from the effort-reward imbalance and strain model first non-fatal acute myocardial infarction were studied. Whereas concentrates on situational (extrinsic) characteristics analyses distinct person (intrinsic) in addition to ones. In view these conceptual differences hypothesis was tested that combining information models improves risk estimation infarction. Methods: 951 male female cases 1147 referents aged...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in elderly. Clinical frailty associated with high mortality, but few studies have explored relationship between OA and frailty. The objective this study was to consider association frailty/pre-frailty an elderly population comprised six European cohorts participating EPOSA project. Longitudinal using baseline data first follow-up waves, from EPOSA; 2,455 individuals aged 65-85 years were recruited pre-existing population-based...
Background: there is ample literature showing pain and depression are related. However, different dimensions of have been used in former studies. Objective: the objective study was to compare strength association with older adults. Methods: assessments including evaluation (severity, frequency, chronicity, quality, medication, painful body sites) (measured by Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale) were performed an observational community dwelling adults (sample mean age 76, n = 1130) Germany....
Nursing staff are exposed to stressful work load which in turn is associated with poor physical and psychological health, sickness absence job exit. The effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model a validated approach measure chronic psychosocial stress by identifying nonreciprocity between occupational efforts spent rewards received, has been found predict health. aim of this cross-sectional study (n = 367 nurses aides) was first test the psychometric properties Danish questionnaire measuring ERI,...
In aging populations, the prevalence of multimorbidity is high, and role socioeconomic status its correlates not well described. Thus, we investigated association between educational attainment in a prospective cohort study, taking also into account intermediate factors that could explain such associations. We included 13,781 participants Heidelberg European Prospective Investigation Cancer Nutrition (EPIC), who were 50–75 years at end follow-up. Information on diet lifestyle was collected...
AbstractAbstractThe effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model was used to analyze burnout and intention leave the nursing profession (ITL) in nurses (n = 21,229) seven European countries, as part of NEXT-Study. Data were gathered using short form ERI questionnaire. Burnout assessed Copenhagen Inventory.

<b>PURPOSE</b> Within the time constraints of a typical physician-patient encounter, full patient agenda will rarely be voiced. Unexpectedly revealed issues that were neither on patient's list items for discussion nor anticipated by physician constitute an emerging agenda. We aimed to quantify occurrence rate agendas in primary care practices and explain variation between patients practices. <b>METHODS</b> This observational cross-sectional study involved 182 9 European cultural regions....

Objective To evaluate the role of comorbidity and pain in association between hip/knee osteoarthritis (OA) with self‐reported as well performance‐based functional limitations a general elderly population. Methods We analyzed data 2,942 individuals, ages 65 85 years, who participated European Project on Osteoarthritis, which was made up 6 cohorts (from Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, UK). Outcomes included physical function measured by Western Ontario McMaster Universities...
To investigate the relationship between physical activity and two measures of fall incidence in an elderly population using person-years as well hours walked denominators to compare these approaches.Prospective cohort study with one-year follow-up falls calendars. Physical was defined walking duration recorded at baseline over one week a thigh-worn uni-axial accelerometer (activPAL; PAL Technologies, Glasgow, Scotland).

Abstract We provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact probability weighting on optimal insurance demand in unified framework. identify decreasing relative overweighting as new local condition function that is useful for comparative static analysis. discuss effects coinsurance, deductible choice, low-probability, high-impact risks versus high-probability, low-impact risks, and presence nonperformance risk. Probability can make better or worse predictions than expected utility depending...
To test the psychometric properties and criterion validity of Japanese version EffortReward Imbalance (ERI) Questionnaire (Siegrist, 1996), a survey was conducted among 105 male dental technicians. The questionnaire developed through backtranslation process. Internal consistency factorial structure were tested with respect to musculoskeletal symptoms estimated help correlation matrix logistic regression analysis. In terms, scales measuring components theoretical concept replicated...
Associations between shift work, chronic psychosocial work stress, and 2 important cardiovascular risk factors, hypertension atherogenic lipids were studied. The hypothesis was tested that as defined by the model of effort-reward imbalance, mediates effects on risk.Altogether 2288 male participants aged 30-55 years in baseline screening Swedish WOLF (work organization, lipids, fibrinogen) study underwent a clinical examination answered standardized questionnaire measuring shiftwork...

To investigate patterns of physical activity in older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to without OA across 6 European countries. We expect country-specific differences the levels between persons OA. A varying degree countries would express a facilitating or impeding influence social, environmental, and other contextual factors on physically active lifestyle.Baseline cross-sectional data from Project Osteoarthritis were analyzed. In total, 2,551 participants (Germany, Italy, The...
Social inequalities in cardiovascular diseases are well documented. Yet, the relation of social status inconsistency (having different ranks two or more indicators like education, occupational position income) and medical conditions heart vessels is not clear. Status (SI) assumed to be stressful, association psychosocial distress health known. Therefore, we aimed analyze relationship between (CVD) inconsistency. Another target was assess influence behaviour related risk factors on this...
