Background: Recently, studies have been conducted to discover the relationship between job stress and metabolic syndrome. This study was performed to evaluate the correlation between job stress and metabolic syndrome and its components in male and female office workers using the Korean Occupational Stress Scale.
Methods: Two hundred three office workers who visited the health promotion center of Bundang Jesaeng Hospital in Seongnam from August 1, 2016 to October 18, 2016, were involved in this cross-sectional study. Sociodemographic factors such as sex, age, physical activity, drinking history, and smoking history were considered.
Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 16.7% in all participants, 29.3% in the high strain group, and 11.7% in the low strain group. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for sex and age revealed a higher odds ratio (OR) of metabolic syndrome in the high strain group (OR=2.51, confidence interval=1.13?5.58). However, there were no significant association between job stress and metabolic syndrome in logistic regression analysis adjusted for sex, age, and body mass index.
Conclusion: In this study, higher risk was shown in the high strain group than in the low strain group in office workers, and it seems that this result may be due to the effect of body mass index. This result suggests that job stress management is needed to prevent metabolic syndrome and obesity among office workers. Additionally, follow-up study might be considered to examine the change in metabolic syndrome and its components by exposure to job stress among office workers.
