Abstract
Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between psychological damage
caused by common occupational trauma and metabolic syndrome (MES).
Method
571 workers from 20 small Italian companies were invited to fill in the Psychological Injury
Risk Indicator (PIRI) during their routine medical examination at the workplace.
Results
Compared to workers with no psychological injury, workers with a high PIRI score had a significantly
increased risk of having at least one metabolic syndrome component (adjusted
hazards ratio, 1.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.2 to 2.6). There was a significant increase in
the risk of hypertriglyceridemia in male workers (OR 2.53 CI95%1.03-6.22), and of hypertension
in female workers (OR 2.45 CI95% 1.29-4.66).
Conclusion
Psychological injury related to common occupational trauma may be a modifiable risk factor
for metabolic syndrome.
