Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify the relationship between duration of categorized catch-up sleep on free days (CUS) and measured body mass index (BMI) in adults using the data from the seventh Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII), 2016. METHODS CUS duration was classified as ≤ 0, > 0-1, > 1-2, and > 2 hours. Being overweight or obese was defined as having a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 or ≥ 30.0 kg/m2, respectively. RESULTS Of 6,382 participants aged 19-80 years in the KNHANES VII survey of 2016, 201 and 583 participants were excluded because of shift-working and insufficient data, respectively. Of 5,598 participants, CUS was observed in 2,274 (44.9%) participants, of which 3,324 (55.1%), 1,043 (19.4%), 724 (14.7%), and 507 (10.8%) had CUS of ≤ 0, > 0-1, > 1-2, and > 2 hours, respectively; the prevalence of obesity was 5.6%, 5.6%, 4.8%, and 6.1%, respectively. The association between BMI and CUS duration showed a significant negative association in the CUS ≤ 0 hours group (beta [95% confidence interval], -0.394 [-0.646, -0.143], P = .002); however, other CUS groups did not show any significant association with BMI (CUS > 0-1 hours: -0.196 [-1.258, 0.865], P = .716; CUS > 1-2 hours, -0.542 [-1.625, 0.541], P = .325; CUS > 2 hours, -0.113 [-0.459, 0.233], P = .519). CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide an understanding of the relationship between CUS and BMI and can serve as an instructive basis for the management of BMI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between night-shift work and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is well known, but that between OSA and long working hours is still unknown. This study explores the association between long working hours and OSA. METHODS Using cross-sectional Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2020 data, we made multiple logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios (ORs) between weekly working hours and STOP-BANG scores for OSA screening. Stratified regression models by night or rotating shift work were also made. RESULTS In an adjusted model of STOP-BANG high-risk versus low-risk groups, the OR in the group exceeding 40 h/wk was higher but not statistically significant, 1.19 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66-2.15] compared to the group working 40 h/wk (standard working hours) or less. In the group exceeding 52 h/wk, the OR was 2.03 with statistical significance (95% CI 1.08-3.80). In the stratification analysis of daytime and night-shift work, the daytime worker results were similar to those in the non-stratified model. The point estimation values of ORs in the night-shift workers were higher than in the daytime workers; however, we did not observe a statistical significance. CONCLUSION Long working hours can increase the risk of OSA assessed by STOP-BANG scores.

Abstract
It has been suggested that long working hours are associated with various diseases through dietary patterns. However, few studies have reported the association between working hours and dietary habits. Thus, the objective of this cross-sectional study was to explore the difference in dietary fiber intake by working hours. Data of a total of 10,760 workers in South Korea who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES), a nation-wide survey, were analyzed to determine different distributions of dietary fiber insufficiency using multiple logistic regression models. Fiber insufficiency proportion was different from working hour groups. 70.1% of the total population eat fiber insufficiently. Working <40 h group showed 66.8% of fiber insufficiency. But working more than 52 h group marked 73.2% of fiber insufficiency. Logistic regression analysis of 10,760 nation-wide study participants revealed that working for 41–52 h a week (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.18–1.47) and working for over 52 h a week (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.25–1.62) were significantly associated with insufficient fiber intake compared to workers with standard working hours (30–40 h a week). These associations were still robust in an adjusted model, with working for 41–52 h a week (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.01–1.27) and working for over 52 h (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.09–1.45) showing high associations with dietary fiber insufficiency. Those with long working hours tend to have insufficient intake of dietary fiber. To promote desirable dietary habits, intervention programs on working conditions should be considered.

J Occup Health 2022; 64:e12359. [PMID: 36101013 PMCID: PMC9470891 DOI: 10.1002/1348-9585.12359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to find evidence of the inflammation-mediated mechanism by which long working hours contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS This cohort study was performed in 56 953 Korean adults free of CVD who underwent a comprehensive screening examination and were followed for up to 7 years. An increase in blood high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) of 1 mg/L or more at the follow-up visit was defined as an incidence. The average weekly working hours in the past year were categorized as ≤40, 41-52, 53-60, and ≥60 h per week. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using generalized estimating equations to calculate the risk of an incidental increase of hsCRP. RESULTS Participants with longer working hours had a higher incidence of hsCRP. Multivariable-adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of incident cases for ≥61 h compared with ≤40 h was 1.69 (1.04-2.75). In subgroup analyses according to sex and the presence of hypertension and diabetes, the risk of hsCRP incidence were highest in the group working more than 61 h in all subgroups, but none of them were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Working hours are independently associated with increased risk of elevated hsCRP in a dose-response relationship. Excessive long-time work is a risk factor for CVD, and it was found that an increase in hsCRP was associated with the pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited information on the association between weekend catch-up sleep (CUS), which has beneficial effects on health, and depression. This study aimed to investigate the association between CUS and depression in adults. METHODS We used the data of the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2016. Depression was defined as Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥10. We categorized CUS duration as ≤0, 0 < to 1, 1 < to 2, and >2 h. RESULTS Of 5550 eligible participants, 3286 (54.9%), 1033 (19.5%), 723 (14.7%) and 508 (10.9%) had CUS duration ≤0, 0 < to 1, 1 < to 2, and >2 h, respectively; of these, the prevalence of depression was 7.0%, 4.2%, 2.9%, and 6.0%, respectively. Multivariable regression analyses including covariates revealed that individuals with CUS duration 1 < to 2 h had a significantly decreased risk of depression compared to individuals with CUS duration ≤0 h (odds ratio [OR] = 0.517, 95% CI = 0.309-0.865). Individuals with CUS duration 0 < to 1 h (OR = 0.731, 95% CI = 0.505-1.060) and >2 h (OR = 1.164, 95% CI = 0.718-1.886) showed no significantly different risk of depression. CONCLUSIONS The risk of depression in individuals with CUS duration 1 < to 2 h was lower than for those with CUS duration ≤0 h. This finding provides a better understanding on the association between CUS and depression; and can be a basis for better management of depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Long working hours are linked to an increased risk of exposure to work safety hazards that threaten the health of workers. To date, only a few cross-sectional studies regarding the relationship between working characteristics, such as over-workload and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been reported. Therefore, in this longitudinal study, we aimed to examine the direct relationship between long working hours and the incidence of CKD. METHODS We included 97 856 participants without CKD in the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study. Using a self-report questionnaire, we evaluated weekly working hours, which were categorized into 35-40, 41-52, and >52 hours. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident CKD were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression analyses with weekly working 35-40 hours as the reference. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.0 years, 185 participants developed incident CKD (incidence density, 4.83 per 104 person-years). Multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CI) of incident CKD for weekly working >52 hours compared with working 35-40 hours were 1.99 (1.22-3.25). In subgroup analyses, the significant association between working >52 hours and incident CKD was consistently observed in groups of age ≥40 years, men, and obesity with no interaction. CONCLUSIONS Our large-scale cohort study of young- to middle-aged men and women demonstrated a significant association between long working hours and an increased risk of incident CKD.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the association between low-grade inflammation as indicated by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level and organizational factors, such as work hours and shift work. Methods We evaluated 7470 young and middle-aged workers who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2015-2018. Work hours were determined from self-reported questionnaires. Shift work was defined as a non-daytime fixed work schedule. An interaction effect between shift work and long work hours on the hsCRP level was estimated using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion (AP) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Increased hsCRP levels were prevalent in 25.2% of the study population. There was a significant association between long work hours and increased hsCRP, especially among middle-aged men [odds ratio (OR) 1.50 (95% CI 1.20-1.87) for moderately increased hsCRP and OR 1.62 (95% CI 1.14-2.30) for highly increased hsCRP]. There was a significant interaction effect between long work hours and shift work on increased hsCRP among middle-aged workers. The RERI were 0.03 (95% CI 0.02-0.04) and 0.56 (95% CI 0.45-0.68) among middle-aged men and women, respectively. The AP were 0.02 (95% CI 0.01-0.03) and 0.36 (95% CI 0.31-0.40) among middle-aged men and women, respectively. Conclusion There was no significant association between shift work and the level of hsCRP. Long work hours were related to low-grade inflammatory processes, but only in middle-aged workers. There was an interaction effect between long work hours and shift work for increased hsCRP, especially in middle-aged women.

Abstract
Information on sex differences in the association between chronotype and depression is scarce. We aimed to investigate these differences using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2016. Chronotypes were categorised based on mid-sleep time on free days corrected by sleep debt accumulated on workdays (MSFsc): early type, < mean MSFsc - 1 standard deviation (SD); intermediate type, between mean MSFsc - 1 SD and MSFsc + 1 SD; and late type, > mean MSFsc + 1 SD. A Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score of ≥ 10 indicated depression. Among 5550 non-shift working adults aged 19-80 years, the prevalence rates of depression in the early, intermediate, and late chronotype groups were 7.4%, 4.5%, and 9.3%, respectively. Women with late chronotype (odds ratio [OR] = 2.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.8-4.7) showed a higher risk of depression than women with intermediate chronotype after adjusting for covariates. Women with early chronotype did not show a significant difference in depression risk (OR = 1.3, 95% CI = 0.9-2.0). In conclusion, late chronotype is associated with an increased risk of depression in women but not in men. Early chronotype is not associated with depression in women or men.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether weekend catch-up sleep (CUS) influenced serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in workers. METHODS We analyzed the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016) data from 3304 workers. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals based on serum hs-CRP cut-off values of 1.0 and 3.0 mg/L, respectively. RESULTS We found that at least 1-hour and less than 2 hours of weekend CUS reduced the risk of elevated hs-CRP levels (odds ratio 0.80, 95% confidence interval 0.64 to 0.99) in multivariate logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION CUS may reduce serum hs-CRP levels in workers, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
