Abstract
PAYA CASTIBLANQUE, Raúl and PIZZI, Alejandro Daniel. The impact of socio-labor factors on health, the consumption of hypnosedatives and addictives in Spain. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.4, pp.311-327. Epub Mar 09, 2020. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objective:
To identify patterns of health (general and mental) and consumption (hypnotics and addictive substances) in the workplace, according to socio-labor factors stratified by sex.
Methods:
Cross-sectional study with a representative sample of the Spanish Active Population (nº=12,260), corresponding to the National Health Survey of 2017. The adjusted odds ratios (ORa) by sociodemographic variables were estimated through logistic regression models, and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
Results:
Two patterns were identified. On the one hand, unemployed people reported a worse self-perceived state of health [(ORa=0.61;95%CI: 0.45-0.83; for men(H); ORa=0.65;95%CI:0,45-0.94; for women(M)], higher prevalence of depression [ORa=4.19;95%CI:2.15-8.16(H); ORa=1.83;95%CI: 1,05-3.21(M)], tranquilizer consumption [ORa=2.21;95%CI:1.29-3.77 (H); ORa=1.83;95% CI: 1.02-3, 32 (M)], and tobacco [ORa=1.66; 95% CI:1.28-2.16 (H)] than the businessmen. On the other hand, the managers referred more occupational stress than unskilled technicians [ORa=0.50;95%CI:0.38-0.66(H);ORa=0.64;95%CI:0.50-0.84(M)] and alcohol consumption [ORa=0.54;95%CI:0.41-0.70(H);ORa=0.43;95%;CI:0.34-0.55(M)].
Conclusion:
The results show different patterns that can be used to start preventive programs.
