Relationship between long working hours and smoking behaviors: Evidence from population-based cohort studies in Korea
This study included 284 782 observations (50 508 workers) from four nationwide cohort studies in Korea. Using generalized estimating equations, we estimated the associations of working hours with current smoking status, smoking initiation, and smoking cessation within each cohort. Cohort-specific estimates were combined through random-effect meta-analysis. Effect sizes were presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95 confidence intervals (CI). Results The overall smoking prevalence was 26.8% within the cohorts. The adjusted OR (95% CI) of the association between working hours and current smoking were 1.01 (0.94–1.08) for (Sou...

Relationship between long working hours and smoking behaviors: Evidence from population-based cohort studies in Korea
CONCLUSION: Long working hours are associated with high current smoking risk and reduced likelihood of smoking cessation among Korean workers. Policy interventions are required to promote smoking cessation and reduce excess overwork for individuals experiencing long working hours.PMID:38497505 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4147 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)

Working hours and health - key research topics in the past and future
CONCLUSIONS: Although the observed health risks of shift work and long working hours are mostly low or moderate, the widespread prevalence of exposure and the hazardousness of the many associated potential outcomes makes such working time arrangements major occupational health risks. Further research is needed to identify exposure-response associations, especially in relation to the chronic health effects, and to elucidate underlying pathways and effective personalized intervention strategies.PMID:38497926 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4157 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)
