The aim was to investigate whether job strain affects mortality in a representative population of elderly men, and whether social network and social support outside the workplace can buffer the negative health effects of job strain. A higher relative mortality risk (RR) was found among men exposed to job strain (RR = 1.7). The combination of exposure to job strain and seven different measures of weak social network and social support was associated with a further increased RR ranging from 2.1 to 4.6.
目的是调查工作压力是否会影响老年男性代表性人群的死亡率，以及工作场所之外的社交网络和社会支持是否能够缓冲工作压力对健康的负面影响。在承受工作压力的男性中发现了更高的相对死亡风险（RR = 1.7）。承受工作压力与社交网络薄弱及社会支持的七种不同衡量指标相结合，会使相对死亡风险进一步增加，范围在2.1至4.6之间。
