Summary
Female workers aged 18-45 reported fatigue strongly linked to age, health status, and menstrual bleeding. Occupational stress and sleep hours also played a role in fatigue levels.
Area of Science:
- Occupational health
- Human physiology
- Women's health
Context:
- Investigates subjective fatigue symptoms in female workers aged 18-45.
- Examines potential contributing factors including age, hemoglobin levels, body weight, health status, and menstrual bleeding.
- Includes sleep hours and occupational stress as additional variables.
Purpose:
- To determine the relationship between subjective fatigue and various physiological and occupational factors in women.
- To identify key predictors of fatigue in this demographic.
Summary:
- A strong correlation was observed between fatigue and age in the studied female workforce.
- After standardizing for age, health status and the abundance of menstrual bleeding were found to be highly statistically significant factors influencing fatigue.
- Other factors like hemoglobin level, relative body weight, sleep hours, and occupational stress showed less pronounced relationships with fatigue.
Impact:
- Highlights the significant impact of age, health status, and gynecological factors on fatigue in working women.
- Provides insights for developing targeted interventions to mitigate fatigue in female employees.
- Informs occupational health strategies to improve well-being and productivity.
