Abstract

Background: Paid work can have a significant impact on employees' health. This article describes the perceived health risks associated with paid work in Germany.

Methods: Data from full-time and part-time employed persons aged 18 to 64 from the GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS study (6,782 women; 6,170 men) and the 2024 'Health in Germany' panel (10,634 women; 8,907 men) were analysed. The perceived health risk posed by paid work was measured using a four-point Likert scale and evaluated on an age-standardised basis by gender and level of qualification.

Results: Approximately one quarter of the working population reported a high or very high health risk from their paid work in both survey periods. Among women, the prevalence in 2024 was higher than around ten years earlier. The highest prevalence was found among men with a low level of qualification.

Conclusions: Working conditions remain key entry points for prevention and health promotion - also with regard to health equity.

2014/2015年和2024年德国有偿工作带来的健康风险。

背景：有偿工作对员工的健康有重大影响。本文描述了在德国与有偿工作相关的健康风险。方法：分析了GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS研究（6,782名女性；6,170名男性）和2024年“德国健康”小组（10,634名女性；8,907名男性）中18至64岁的全职和兼职就业人员的数据。对有偿工作带来的健康风险的感知采用李克特四分制来衡量，并按性别和资格水平按年龄标准化进行评估。结果：在这两个调查期间，大约四分之一的工作人口报告说，他们的有偿工作有很高或非常高的健康风险。在女性中，2024年的患病率高于大约10年前。在学历水平较低的男性中患病率最高。结论：工作条件仍然是预防和促进健康的关键切入点——也涉及健康公平。
