Description:
Objective To identify relationships between work organizational variables (job rotation, overtime work, having a second job and work pacing)a and health outcome measures [carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), lateral and medial epicondylitis (LEPI/MEPI)]. Methods Using a pooled baseline cohort of 1834 subjects, the relationships were studied using logistic regression models. Results Varied degrees of associations between the work organizational and outcomes variables were found. Job rotation was significantly associated with being a CTS case (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.00–1.50). Overtime work was significantly associated with lower LEPI prevalence (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.28–0.84). No statistically significant associations were found between having a second job and different work pacing and any of the three health outcome measures. Conclusions Work organizational variables were only partially associated with the studied health outcomes.
