Abstract

Objective: Stress and working environments are risk factors for diabetes mellitus. 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 diabetes.

Methods: The results of a single year's BJSQ and medical examinations were investigated for 30,694 Japanese active office workers who were 30 to 59 years old. 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 diabetes comorbidity were analyzed.

Results: The mean age of the subjects was 43.8 ± 10.5 years old, and the proportion of subjects with HJS was 10%. After adjustment for age and sex, HJS was associated with a risk of diabetes comorbidity (odds ratio, 1.30; 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.49). HJS was not a significant diabetic comorbidity factor when adjusted for lifestyle habits in addition to age and sex.

Conclusion: HJS measured using the BJSQ and unhealthy lifestyles synergistically contributed to diabetes comorbidity.

目的：压力和工作环境是糖尿病的风险因素：压力和工作环境是糖尿病的风险因素。日本于 2015 年开始实施一项名为 "压力检查计划 "的新职业健康政策。因此，我们通过简明工作压力问卷（BJSQ）来明确是否存在高工作压力（HJS）与糖尿病合并症是否相关：方法：对 30,694 名 30 至 59 岁的日本在职上班族进行了一年的 BJSQ 和体检结果调查。使用 BJSQ 评估是否患有 HJS，并在医疗访谈中使用个人电脑进行调查。此外，还分析了 HJS 与糖尿病合并症之间的关系：受试者的平均年龄为（43.8 ± 10.5）岁，患有 HJS 的受试者比例为 10%。在对年龄和性别进行调整后，HJS 与糖尿病合并症风险相关（几率比为 1.30；95% 置信区间为 1.13-1.49）。除年龄和性别外，如果对生活习惯进行调整，HJS 并非重要的糖尿病合并症因素：结论：使用 BJSQ 测量的 HJS 和不健康的生活方式共同导致了糖尿病合并症。

Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes.
