This study aimed to analyze the association between job strain and hypertension in the female population. A cross-sectional study was performed with 1,819 women who participated in the Estudo Pró-Saúde (Pro-Health Study), in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil, between 1999 and 2001. The Brazilian version of the short version of the Job Stress Scale (demand-control model) was used. Overall prevalence of measured hypertension (> or =140/90 mmHg and/or antihypertensive drug use) was 24%. Compared to participants with jobs classified as low strain, adjusted prevalence ratios for hypertension in women who performed passive and active high-strain jobs were, respectively, 0.93 (95% CI: 0.72;1.20), 1.06 (95% CI: 0.86;1.32) and 1.14 (95% CI: 0.88;1.47). Longitudinal analyses should be performed to clarify the role of these work environment psychosocial characteristics as a determinant of hypertension.
这项研究旨在分析职业紧张与女性高血压之间的关系。采用横断面研究方法，对 1999 年至 2001 年间参加巴西东南部里约热内卢市“Pro-Health 研究”的 1819 名女性进行了研究。使用了巴西版的职业紧张短式量表（需求-控制模型）。测量的高血压（>=140/90mmHg 和/或使用抗高血压药物）总患病率为 24%。与低压力职业的参与者相比，从事被动和主动高压力职业的女性高血压的调整后患病率比分别为 0.93（95%可信区间：0.72；1.20）、1.06（95%可信区间：0.86；1.32）和 1.14（95%可信区间：0.88；1.47）。应进行纵向分析，以阐明这些工作环境社会心理特征作为高血压决定因素的作用。
