Retired individuals face higher cardiovascular risk and depression compared to wage earners. Job insecurity among workers correlates with increased anxiety levels, highlighting the impact of socio-economic status on health.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Psychological Well-being

Background:

  • Cardiovascular risk factors are influenced by various lifestyle and socio-economic elements.
  • Psychological status, including anxiety and depression, may interact with cardiovascular health.
  • Understanding these relationships is crucial for preventive healthcare strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between cardiovascular risk factors and psychological/socio-economic status.
  • To identify specific risk factors linked to employment status and job-related stress.

Main Methods:

  • A self-administered questionnaire with 83 items was used.
  • Data collected included cardiovascular risk factors, psychological states (anxiety, depression), lifestyle, and socio-economic variables.

  • 955 individuals, primarily attending occupational health examinations, participated anonymously.

    • Main Results:

    • Non-working individuals (mainly retired) exhibited significantly higher cardiovascular risk and depression levels compared to wage earners, potentially due to older age.
    • Among employed individuals, 30% reported job insecurity, which was associated with significantly higher anxiety levels.
    • No significant differences in absolute cardiovascular risk or behavioral patterns were observed between subgroups of working individuals based on job insecurity.

    Conclusions:

    • Socio-economic status, particularly employment and job security, is linked to psychological well-being and cardiovascular risk.
    • Retired individuals may represent a vulnerable group requiring targeted health interventions.
    • The study highlights the need for comprehensive health assessments that include psychological and socio-economic factors.
