OBJECTIVE
This study clarifies potential misestimation of occupational risk caused by the dichotomy of frontline essential and nonessential occupations in prior studies.
METHODS
The linear regression is used to investigate the occupational risk in terms of incidence rate, hospitalization, and mortality on community level during the pandemic.
RESULTS
Overall, frontline essential occupations were positively associated with incidence rate, hospitalization, and mortality (156.06, 18.47, and 3.49; P < 0.01). Among essential occupations, however, education, training, and library occupations were negatively associated with them, whereas transportation, protective service, food preparation, and serving occupations were insignificantly associated with them. Moreover, among nonessential occupations, building and grounds cleaning, construction, and extraction occupations were positively associated with them.
CONCLUSION
The dichotomy of frontline essential and nonessential occupations can bring overestimation and underestimation of occupational risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
目的
本研究旨在阐明先前研究中一线必要职业和非必要职业二分法可能导致职业风险的估计错误。
方法
本研究采用线性回归分析方法，在社区层面上，调查了大流行期间职业风险的发病率、住院率和死亡率。
结果
总体而言，一线必要职业与发病率、住院率和死亡率呈正相关（156.06、18.47 和 3.49；P < 0.01）。然而，在必要职业中，教育、培训和图书馆职业与它们呈负相关，而交通、保护服务、食品准备和服务职业与它们无显著相关性。此外，在非必要职业中，建筑和场地清洁、建筑和提取职业与它们呈正相关。
结论
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，一线必要职业和非必要职业的二分法可能导致职业风险的高估和低估。
