A cross-sectional study on 6,676 workers consisting of 4,243 males and 2,433 females aged 20-58 yr in a metal product factory was conducted to elucidate the relationship between work characteristics, e.g. job demand/control/support, sedentary job, overtime work and shift work, and waist to hip ratio (WHR) as well as body mass index (BMI) taking alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise and other psychosocial factors such as education and marital status into account. By a stepwise multiple regression analysis, BMI was associated with shift work, marital status and sedentary job for males, and with exercise but inversely associated with education for females. WHR was also associated with shift work, alcohol consumption, marital status and sedentary job but inversely associated with exercise for males, and with sedentary job, marital status and education but inversely associated with smoking for females. These results suggest that work characteristics such as sedentary job and shift work should also be considered when trying to prevent increases in BMI and WHR.
对一家金属制品厂的6676名年龄在20至58岁之间的工人（其中男性4243名，女性2433名）进行了一项横断面研究，以阐明工作特征（如工作需求/控制/支持、久坐工作、加班工作和轮班工作）与腰臀比（WHR）以及体重指数（BMI）之间的关系，同时考虑饮酒、吸烟、运动以及其他社会心理因素，如教育程度和婚姻状况。通过逐步多元回归分析，男性的BMI与轮班工作、婚姻状况和久坐工作相关，而女性的BMI与运动相关，但与教育程度呈负相关。男性的WHR也与轮班工作、饮酒、婚姻状况和久坐工作相关，但与运动呈负相关，而女性的WHR与久坐工作、婚姻状况和教育程度相关，但与吸烟呈负相关。这些结果表明，在试图预防BMI和WHR升高时，也应考虑久坐工作和轮班工作等工作特征。
