Abstract

Assessing risk factors exposure, such as stress in the workplace during adulthood, may contribute to detecting early signs of cognitive impairment in order to implement effective actions to improve brain health and consequently to decrease cognitive disorders later in life. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate whether work-related stress is associated with low cognitive performance in middle-aged adults from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil), and whether social support mediates this relationship. Work-related stress was evaluated in 9,969 workers using the Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire (DCSQ). Cognitive function was assessed using the verbal fluency, trail-making version B, and delayed recall word tests (DRWT). Work-related stress was associated with lower performance on the delayed recall, verbal fluency, and executive function tests in middle-aged adults. Social support may mediate the association between work demands and cognitive performance. These findings support that work-related stress is associated with cognitive performance during adulthood.

中年人的工作压力和认知表现:巴西成人健康纵向研究(ELSA-Brasil)。

评估风险因素暴露，如成年期工作场所的压力，可能有助于发现认知障碍的早期迹象，以便采取有效行动，改善大脑健康，从而减少以后生活中的认知障碍。在这项横断面研究中，我们旨在调查来自巴西成人健康纵向研究(ELSA-Brasil)的中年人的工作压力是否与低认知表现有关，以及社会支持是否在这种关系中起中介作用。使用需求-控制-支持问卷(DCSQ)对9969名工人的工作压力进行了评估。认知功能的评估采用言语流畅性、线索制作版本B和延迟回忆单词测试(DRWT)。中年人在延迟回忆、语言流畅性和执行功能测试中的表现较差与工作压力有关。社会支持可能在工作需求与认知表现之间起到中介作用。这些发现支持了与工作有关的压力与成年期的认知表现有关。
