Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of overseas assignments on the metabolic factors associated with lifestyle disease including body mass index, blood pressure, plasma glucose, lipid profiles, liver enzyme, and uric acid in Japanese individuals.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using annual health examination data from employees of the Panasonic Corporation in Japan. We evaluated the differences in the changes in metabolic factors associated with lifestyle disease during the observation periods between the overseas and non-overseas assignment groups. Propensity score matching was performed to match the characteristics of the two groups. In subgroup analysis, the impact of family accompaniment and the destination on metabolic factors associated with lifestyle disease were also evaluated.

Results: The median ages of the overseas (n = 899) and non-overseas assignment groups (n = 899) were 46 (41-50) and 46 (41-50) years. The average overseas assignment duration was 4.1 ± 1.7 years. Overall, 65.4% of individuals were assigned overseas alone in the overseas assignment group. No significant differences were observed in the changes in metabolic factors associated with lifestyle disease between the overseas and non-overseas assignment groups. In subgroup analyses, the family accompaniment and the destination did not affect changes in any of metabolic factors associated with lifestyle disease during the overseas assignment.

Conclusions: In conclusion, no significant difference was observed in metabolic factors associated with lifestyle disease between the overseas and non-overseas assignment groups in Japanese employees.

海外工作对代谢因素的影响：松下队列研究 23.

研究目的本研究旨在评估日本人的海外工作对与生活方式疾病相关的代谢因素（包括体重指数、血压、血糖、血脂、肝酶和尿酸）的影响：利用日本松下公司员工的年度健康检查数据进行了一项回顾性队列研究。我们评估了海外派任组和非海外派任组在观察期内与生活方式疾病相关的代谢因素变化的差异。我们对两组的特征进行了倾向得分匹配。在分组分析中，还评估了家庭陪伴和目的地对与生活方式疾病相关的代谢因素的影响：海外派驻组（899 人）和非海外派驻组（899 人）的年龄中位数分别为 46 岁（41-50 岁）和 46 岁（41-50 岁）。平均海外派遣时间为 4.1 ± 1.7 年。总体而言，海外派任组中有 65.4% 的人是单独被派往海外的。在与生活方式疾病相关的代谢因素的变化方面，海外派任组和非海外派任组之间没有观察到明显差异。在分组分析中，家庭陪伴和目的地并不影响海外派任期间与生活方式疾病相关的代谢因素的变化：总之，在日本员工中，海外派任组和非海外派任组之间与生活方式疾病相关的代谢因素没有明显差异。
