The aim was to examine how different aspects of time pressure are associated with health and gender. The study is based on data collected by cross-sectional questionnaire from 153 female and 167 male journalists at three editorial offices in Sweden. Spearman correlation coefficients by gender were analysed between six different time pressure variables and seven health measures. For women three health indicators correlated significantly with time pressure expressed as "short of time for reflection". For men, health as expressed by four indicators was primarily related to "lack of efficiency". Severe time pressure correlated especially highly with stress but only to an almost negligible degree with neck and shoulder symptoms. Our analysis showed that the relation between time pressure and health differs between women and men and that time pressure can be interpreted in several different ways
