The association of XXXX , weight status and job strain: A cross-sectional study.

@entity1 @entity717 @entity28 @entity9879
AIMS: The study investigated whether @entity1 with @entity717 ( @entity717 ) and/or @entity28 had higher job strain than @entity1 without it, and whether social support at work modifies this association. METHODS: The study included 35,160 individuals (25-64 years of age) from the Stockholm Public Health Surveys of 2006 and 2010. Data on @entity717 and @entity28 (BMI     30 kg/m(2) calculated from weight (kg) and height (m)) were self-reported. According to the Demand-Control-Support theory job strain, collective strain, and isolated strain were calculated for six groups of @entity1 based on the presence of @entity717 and @entity28 , using the subtraction approach (demand minus control). Differences in job strain mean scores were estimated by multivariate linear regression. Social support at work was analyzed as a potential effect modifier (high/low). RESULTS: Obese @entity1 with @entity717 had the highest job strain (b = 0.92, 95% CI 0.64-1.19), compared to normal weight @entity1 without @entity717 (reference group). We found that social support at work significantly (p<0.001) modifies the association between job strain, @entity717 and @entity28 . Obese @entity1 with @entity717 had the highest isolated @entity9879 .92, 95% CI 2.52-3.31), and the highest collective strain, although of smaller magnitude (b = 0.34, 95% CI 0.05-0.63), compared to the reference group. CONCLUSIONS: Obese @entity1 with @entity717 perceive higher job strain than non-disabled @entity1 of normal weight. Strategies aiming to increase the social support at work may be important for this group of @entity1 to prevent them from experiencing unhealthy job strain.
