Abstract
Method
In this cross-sectional survey of an occupational cohort (n = 2,674, 77 % male), work stress was measured by the Effort–Reward Imbalance (ERI) Questionnaire. Diabetic status, i.e.,
diabetes and prediabetes, were diagnosed by glycated hemoglobin A1c criterion or fasting plasma glucose criterion supplemented
by self-reports.
diabetes and prediabetes, were diagnosed by glycated hemoglobin A1c criterion or fasting plasma glucose criterion supplemented
by self-reports.
Results
The overall prevalence rates of diabetes and prediabetes were 3.5 and 42.2 %, respectively. Using ordinal logistic regression
with adjustment for potential confounding factors, high ERI at work was associated with diabetes-related ordinal variable
(odds ratio [OR], 1.27; 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI], 1.02–1.58) and prediabetes-related ordinal variable (OR, 1.26;
95 % CI, 1.01–1.58) in men, whereas the associations in women were somewhat less pronounced and did not reach statistical
significance.
