Abstract

Objective: Stress and working environments are risk factors for hypertension. A new occupational health policy called the Stress Check Program was started in Japan in 2015. Therefore, we clarified whether the presence or absence of high job stress (HJS) as determined using the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) is related to the comorbidity of hypertension.

Methods: The results of a single year's BJSQ and medical examinations were investigated for 18 629 active Japanese male office workers who were 30-59 years old. The presence or absence of HJS was assessed using the BJSQ and investigated using a personal computer in a medical interview. Furthermore, the relationships between HJS and hypertension comorbidity were analyzed.

Results: The mean age of the subjects was 43.8 ± 10.3 years old, and the proportion of subjects with HJS was 10%. After adjustment for age and lifestyle habits, HJS was associated with a risk of hypertension comorbidity (odds ratio, 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.36; P = 0.022). HJS was a significant hypertensive comorbidity factor.

Conclusion: HJS measured using the BJSQ independently contributed to hypertension comorbidity among male office workers.

使用简要工作压力问卷评估高工作压力作为日本男性职业人群高血压的独立危险因素。

目的：压力和工作环境是高血压的危险因素。2015年，日本启动了一项名为“压力检查计划”的新职业健康政策。因此，我们澄清了使用简要工作压力问卷（BJSQ）确定的高工作压力（HJS）的存在或不存在是否与高血压合并症有关。方法：对18 629名30 ~ 59岁的日本在职男性上班族进行1年BJSQ和体格检查。使用BJSQ评估HJS的存在与否，并在医学访谈中使用个人电脑进行调查。进一步分析HJS与高血压合并症的关系。结果：受试者平均年龄为43.8±10.3岁，HJS患者比例为10%。在调整年龄和生活习惯后，HJS与高血压合并症的风险相关(优势比，1.18；95%置信区间为1.02-1.36；p = 0.022)。HJS是高血压的重要合并症因素。结论：使用BJSQ独立测量的HJS与男性办公室工作人员的高血压合并症有关。

期刊介绍： Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research. This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine. Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
