The aim of this study was to assess whether job strain is associated with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements within a subsample of the Belgian Job Stress Project (BELSTRESS) population.
A group of 89 middle-aged male and female workers perceiving high job strain and an equally large group of workers perceiving no high job strain wore an ambulatory blood pressure monitor for 24 hours on a regular working day.
Mean ambulatory blood pressure at work, at home, and while asleep was significantly higher in workers with job strain as compared with others. The associations between job strain and ambulatory blood pressure were independent from the covariates.
Within this study, high job strain was an important independent risk factor for higher ambulatory blood pressure at work, at home, and during sleep in a group of men and women.
本研究旨在评估在比利时工作压力项目（BELSTRESS）人群的一个子样本中，工作压力是否与24小时动态血压测量值相关。
一组89名感知到高工作压力的中年男性和女性工人，以及另一组规模相当但未感知到高工作压力的工人，在正常工作日佩戴动态血压监测仪24小时。
与其他人相比，有工作压力的工人在工作、在家和睡眠时的平均动态血压显著更高。工作压力与动态血压之间的关联独立于协变量。
在本研究中，高工作压力是一组男性和女性在工作、在家及睡眠时动态血压升高的一个重要独立危险因素。
