Abstract

Objective: Transitioning to motherhood can create work family conflicts affecting mothers' health. Although employment is generally associated with longer telomeres, this may diminish during the early years of child-rearing. This study aimed to assess the impact of work reentry on telomere length (TL) among first-time mothers.

Methods: In this 1-year prospective study, a total of 103 first-time postpartum mothers participated from two medical institutions in Northern Israel; they completed validated questionnaires, reported their current working status, and provided dried blood spots measuring TL.

Results: We found that working status significantly predicted change in TL and was negatively correlated with change in TL over time (β = -0.245; 95% confidence interval, -0.169, -0.018; P = 0.016).

Conclusions: Identifying ideal timing of work reentry is recommended for first-time postpartum mother's optimal health and TL.

产后母亲工作状态与端粒长度的1年前瞻性研究。

目的:转变为母亲可能造成影响母亲健康的工作与家庭冲突。虽然就业通常与较长的端粒有关，但在养育孩子的早期，这种情况可能会减少。本研究旨在评估职场再就业对初产母亲端粒长度(TL)的影响。方法:在这项为期1年的前瞻性研究中，来自以色列北部两家医疗机构的103名首次产后母亲参与了这项研究;他们完成了有效的问卷，报告了他们目前的工作状态，并提供了测量TL的干血点。结果:我们发现工作状态显著预测TL的变化，并与TL随时间的变化呈负相关(β = -0.245;95%置信区间，-0.169，-0.018;P = 0.016)。结论:确定理想的重返工作时间对初次产后母亲的最佳健康和产后生活是有帮助的。
