The extent to which work hours and sleep are associated with self-rated health (SRH) was investigated in full-time employees of small- and medium-scale businesses (SMBs) in a suburb of Tokyo.
A total of 2,579 employees (1,887 men and 692 women), aged 18-79 (mean 45) years, in 296 SMBs were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire from August to December 2002. Work hours, sleep, and SRH were evaluated.
Compared with those working 6-8 h/day, participants working >8 to 10 h/day and >10 h/day had significantly higher odds of suboptimal SRH [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.36 and 1.87, respectively]. Similarly, compared with those sleeping 6+ h/day and sufficient sleep, participants with short sleep (<6 h/day) and insufficient sleep had increased odds of suboptimal SRH (aOR 1.65 and aOR 2.03, respectively). Combinations of the longest work hours with short sleep (aOR 3.30) or insufficient sleep (aOR 3.40) exerted synergistic negative associations on SRH.
This study suggests that long work hours and poor sleep and its combination are associated with suboptimal SRH.
本研究旨在调查东京郊区中小企业(SMB)全职员工的工作时间和睡眠时长与自感健康(SRH)之间的关联程度。
2002 年 8 月至 12 月期间,我们对 296 家 SMB 中的 2579 名 18-79 岁(平均 45 岁)的员工进行了一项基于自我报告的问卷调查,评估了他们的工作时间、睡眠时长和 SRH。
与每天工作 6-8 小时的参与者相比,每天工作>8-10 小时和>10 小时的参与者自感健康状况不佳的可能性显著更高(调整后的优势比[aOR]分别为 1.36 和 1.87)。同样,与每天睡眠 6 小时以上和睡眠充足的参与者相比,睡眠不足 6 小时和睡眠不足的参与者自感健康状况不佳的可能性更高(aOR 分别为 1.65 和 2.03)。最长工作时间与短睡眠(aOR 3.30)或睡眠不足(aOR 3.40)的组合对 SRH 产生了协同的负面关联。
本研究表明,长时间工作和较差的睡眠及其组合与自感健康状况不佳有关。
