Association between long working hours and physical inactivity in middle-aged and older adults
BACKGROUND: We investigated associations for long working hours in relation to physical inactivity and high-level physical activity among middle-aged and older adults. METHODS: Our study included 5402 participants and 21 595 observations from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2006-2020). Logistic mixed models were used to estimate ORs and 95% CIs. Physical inactivity was defined as not engaging in any type of physical activity, while high-…

Association between Workers’ Anxiety over Technological Automation and Sleep Disturbance
Despite the positive aspects of recent technological innovations, fears are mounting among workers that machines will inevitably replace most human jobs in the future. This study is the first to explore the association between individual-level automation anxiety and insomnia among workers. We scored the worker's anxiety over technological automation with five questions. The total sum of scores for participants was categorized in quartiles (Q1-Q4)…
Irregular Work Hours and the Risk of Sleep Disturbance Among Korean Service Workers Required to Suppress Emotion
Although a necessity in a modern society, irregular work schedule can lead to sleep problems. We investigated the effect of work schedule irregularity on sleep disturbance of 17,846 Korean service workers using the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for sleep disturbance occurrence were calculated through a multiple logistic regression model. The adjusted ORs for moderate and severe sleep …
Changes in Income after an Industrial Accident According to Industry and Return-to-Work Status
Objective: To investigate changes in the incomes of workers, particularly those in the construction sector, who experienced industrial accidents according to their status of return to work.

A repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare annual differential incomes before and after the industrial accident, and a linear mixed model was used to investigate the change…
Income Changes Due to Disability Ratings and Participation in Economic Activities Caused by Industrial Accidents
Industrial accidents cost a huge amount of money, but they also have negative consequences in many respects. We analyzed the data of the first to fourth panel study of workers' compensation insurance (PSWCI). Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the annual income before and after the industrial accident, and a general linear model was used to identify changes in income due to disability ratings and participation in economic activities. The…
Risk factors of suicide attempt among people with suicidal ideation in South Korea
It is important to pay attention to populations with suicidal ideation and the risk factors mentioned above.

The association between low blood lead levels and the prevalence of prehypertension among nonhypertensive adults in Korea
OBJECTIVES: Low-level lead exposure has been associated with increases in blood pressure (BP) and impairment of the cardiovascular system. Prehypertension is not categorized as a disease currently; however, individuals with untreated prehypertension are known to be at increased risk of progression to hypertension and mortality caused by cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between blood lead levels below the threshold for the h…
The association between blood cadmium level and airflow obstruction in Korean men
In conclusion, blood cadmium level was associated with airflow obstruction independently of smoking history and that association was still significant in never smokers. Careful attention is needed for the general population who are potentially exposed to cadmium
