FERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ, Asunción Mª et al. Estimation of aging in the working population and relationship with psychophysical health and working conditions. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.4, pp.308-322. Epub 15-Jan-2024. ISSN 3020-1160.
Introduction:
The aging of the population leads to a higher prevalence of workers with psychophysical and cognitive pathologies at risk of frailty.
Objective:
To estimate the relationship between age-associated aging in men and women and psychophysical, emotional health, and cognitive impairment in the working population and its impact according to the type of work and shift work.
Material and Method:
Cross-sectional study with 389 workers. We assessed individuals aged <50 and ≥50 years using handgrip strength, calf circumference, Frailty-Frail assessment, Beck Depression Inventory for depression, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for anxiety, and Pfeiffer test for cognitive impairment, while also considering the influence of the type of work and shift work.
Results:
There is a higher prevalence of frailty in men aged ≥50 years (p<0.05). The rest of the variables related to physical, emotional, and cognitive status do not show significant differences based on age, type of work, or shift work (p>0.05).
Conclusions:
Frailty, as assessed by the Frail questionnaire, reveals the earliest signs of frailty in men aged ≥50 years.
