The association between extent of employment and hypertension was examined among 3,824 women participants of the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Women in three employment groups (full-time, part-time, and short-term) were compared to homemakers. In covariate-adjusted, logistic regression models, women employed full-time had a somewhat lower, but not significantly different, prevalence of hypertension (OR = 0.8, 95% CI = 0.7, 1.1), whereas both part-time (OR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.4, 0.7) and short-term (OR = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.4, 0.7) workers had significantly lower prevalences. Associations did not tend to vary by age, ethnicity, or occupation. Employment does not appear to increase the risk of hypertension in women; in fact, moderate levels were associated with lower risk.
在第二次全国健康与营养检查调查的3824名女性参与者中,研究了就业程度与高血压之间的关联。将三个就业组(全职、兼职和短期)的女性与家庭主妇进行比较。在经协变量调整的逻辑回归模型中,全职工作的女性高血压患病率略低,但差异不显著(OR = 0.8,95% CI = 0.7,1.1),而兼职(OR = 0.6,95% CI = 0.4,0.7)和短期(OR = 0.5,95% CI = 0.4,0.7)工作的女性患病率显著较低。关联在年龄、种族或职业方面没有明显差异。就业似乎不会增加女性患高血压的风险;事实上,适度的就业水平与较低风险相关。
