摘要

目的:职业卫生研究人员在流行病学研究中经常将性别视为混杂因素,但性别可能会影响暴露概况。本研究调查了同一职业中职业危害暴露的性别差异。方法:我们分析了第六次韩国工作条件调查(2020年),这是一个来自韩国的全国代表性数据集。在将研究人群限制为22 511名全职工资工人后,我们评估了18个自我报告的职业暴露(4个物理暴露,4个化学暴露,1个生物暴露,6个肌肉骨骼暴露,3个社会心理暴露)。为了创建匹配的样本,根据倾向得分,考虑到年龄、教育程度、就业状况、下属人数和公司规模,使用“最近邻匹配”方法,将每个男性与相同职业和行业代码的女性进行匹配。这导致了403个职业的3918名男性和3918名女性工人的匹配研究人群。条件逻辑回归应用于同一职业内的性别差异,调整了其他协变量。结果:我们发现在职业危害暴露中存在持续的性别差异,即使在基于倾向得分的相同职业和行业内的男性和女性进行匹配后也是如此。据报告,男性更容易受到物理因素(如噪音)和化学因素(如化学产品)的影响,而女性更容易受到心理因素(如处理愤怒的客户)的影响。肌肉骨骼因素的研究结果好坏参半,男性更容易站立,女性更容易手部重复运动。结论:在规划干预措施以减少职业有害暴露时应考虑性别,即使在同一职业中也是如此。

Gender differences in occupational hazard exposures within the same occupation: A nationally representative analysis in South Korea.

Objective: Occupational health researchers have often treated gender as a confounder in epidemiologic studies, but gender may influence exposure profiles. This study investigated gender differences in occupational hazard exposures within the same occupation.

Methods: We analyzed the 6th Korean Working Conditions Survey (2020), a nationally representative dataset from South Korea. After restricting the study population to 22 511 full-time wage workers, we assessed 18 self-reported occupational exposures (4 physical, 4 chemical, 1 biological, 6 musculoskeletal, 3 psychosocial). To create matched samples, each man was matched with woman in the same occupational and industrial codes using `nearest neighbor matching` based on the propensity scores, considering age, education, employment status, the number of subordinates, and company size. This resulted in a matched study population of 3918 male and 3918 female workers in 403 occupations. Conditional logistic regression was applied to examine gender differences within the same occupation, adjusting for other covariates.

Results: We found persistent gender differences in occupational hazard exposures, even after matching of men and women within the same occupation and industry based on propensity scores. Men reported a higher prevalence of exposure to physical (eg, loud noise) and chemical factors (eg, chemical products), while women were more likely to be exposed to psychosocial factors (eg, handling angry clients). The findings on musculoskeletal factors were mixed, with men being more exposed to standing and women to repetitive hand movements.

Conclusions: Gender should be considered when planning interventions to reduce occupational harmful exposures, even within the same occupation.

期刊介绍: The aim of the Journal is to promote research in the fields of occupational and environmental health and safety and to increase knowledge through the publication of original research articles, systematic reviews, and other information of high interest. Areas of interest include occupational and environmental epidemiology, occupational and environmental medicine, psychosocial factors at work, physical work load, physical activity work-related mental and musculoskeletal problems, aging, work ability and return to work, working hours and health, occupational hygiene and toxicology, work safety and injury epidemiology as well as occupational health services. In addition to observational studies, quasi-experimental and intervention studies are welcome as well as methodological papers, occupational cohort profiles, and studies associated with economic evaluation. The Journal also publishes short communications, case reports, commentaries, discussion papers, clinical questions, consensus reports, meeting reports, other reports, book reviews, news, and announcements (jobs, courses, events etc).
