Does physical or psychosocial workload modify the effect of @entity4512 on XXXX ? A prospective study among the Finnish population.

@entity4512 @entity102 @entity2048 @entity158
AIMS: Previously, among food industry workers, multisite @entity158 predicted @entity2048 ( @entity2048 ) only in those with low biomechanical workload. Here we studied among a wide range of occupations whether the relationship of @entity158 with @entity2048 was modified by the level of physical or psychosocial workload. METHODS: A nationally representative sample (Health 2000 Survey) comprised 3420 occupationally active Finns aged 30-55  years. Baseline data on @entity4512 during the preceding month, strenuous work history, current physical workload, job demands, job control, support at work, lifestyle, and @entity102 were obtained in 2000/2001 by questionnaire, interview, and clinical examination. @entity4512 in 18 body locations was combined into four sites (neck, upper limbs, low back, and lower limbs) and classified as no @entity158 , and multisite @entity158 (2-4 sites). The data were linked with information from national registers on annual @entity2048 periods lasting >= 10  workdays for 2002-2008. Negative binomial regression analysis was used. RESULTS: At baseline, one-third of the study sample reported single-site and one-third multisite @entity158 . Allowing for gender and age, the employees with multisite @entity158 in strata with high physical workload and high job demands tended to have the highest risk of @entity2048 , but no statistically significant interactive effects between work factors and @entity158 were observed. Further adjustment for health-related lifestyle and @entity102 decreased the risk estimates in all strata. CONCLUSION: We did not find evidence for significant modification by physical or psychosocial workload of the relationship between @entity4512 and @entity2048 periods lasting >= 10 workdays.
