“…Therefore, a best-evidence synthesis was performed to synthesize the results. As in previous studies (26,29,30), the following levels of evidence were defined: (i) strong evidence: consistent findings in two or more high-quality longitudinal studies; (ii) moderate evidence: consistent findings in one high-quality longitudinal study and in at least two high-quality cross-sectional studies; (iii) limited evidence: consistent findings in one single longitudinal study, or consistent findings in at least two cross-sectional studies; (iv) conflicting evidence: non-consistent findings.…”

The contribution of work and lifestyle factors to socioeconomic inequalities in self-rated health-a systematic review by Dieker ACM, IJzelenberg W, Proper KI, Burdorf A, Ket JCF, van der Beek AJ, Hulsegge G This study is the first systematic review on the contribution of work and lifestyle factors to socioeconomic inequalities in perceived health among workers. Work and lifestyle factors partly explained socioeconomic health inequalities. This has important implications for public and occupational health policy as it emphasizes to focus on both work and lifestyle factors to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in perceived health.

“…Therefore, it is not entirely clear how working hours and work productivity are interrelated to each other . As described above, while the concept of work productivity has been used widely and the definition is full of variety, most review articles have been defined work productivity as “absenteeism” and “presenteeism.” Absenteeism refers to the missed time of work because of illness. “Presenteeism” refers to the reduction in work performance due to illness in employees while at work …”

Objectives The aims of the study were to investigate the association between working hours, work engagement, and work productivity, and to examine if work engagement moderates the influence of working hours on work productivity. Methods We used cross‐sectional data from the Japanese occupational cohort survey, which involved 2093 employees in a manufacturing industry. Working hours were self‐reported by the study participants. Work productivity was assessed with absolute presenteeism based on the scale of the validated Japanese version of World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (WHO‐HPQ). Work engagement was assessed with the Nine‐item Utrecht work Engagement Scale (UWES‐9). Univariate and multivariable regression analyses were conducted to examine the association of working hours and work engagement with work productivity. We also carried out stratified multivariable regression analysis separately for those with high‐work engagement and those with low‐work engagement. Results Working >40 to 50 hours per week and >50 hours per week were significantly positively associated with work productivity in univariate analysis. However, the significant association no longer held after adjusting for work engagement. Work engagement was positively associated with work productivity even after controlling for potential confounders. Working hours were not significantly associated with work productivity among those with high‐work engagement or among those with low‐work engagement. Conclusions Working hours did not have any significant associations with work productivity when taking work engagement into account. Work engagement did not moderate the influence of working hours on work productivity, though it attenuated the relationship between working hours and work productivity.

Osteoarthritis is a condition of joint failure characterized by many pathologic changes of joint-surrounding tissues. Many evidences suggest the role of both innate and adaptive immunity that interplay, resulting either in initiation or in progression of osteoarthritis. Adaptive immune cells, in particular T cells, have been demonstrated to play a role in the development of OA in animal models. However, the underlying mechanism is yet unclear. Our aim was to correlate the frequency and phenotype of tissue-infiltrating T cells in the synovial tissue and infrapatellar fat pad with radiographic grading. Our results show that CD8+ T cells are increased in osteoarthritic patients with higher radiographic grading. When peripheral blood CD8+ T cells were examined, we show that CD8+ T cells possess a significantly higher level of activation than its CD4+ T cell counterpart (P < 0.0001). Our results suggest a role for CD8+ T cells and recruitment of these activated circulating peripheral blood CD8+ T cells to the knee triggering local inflammation within the knee joint.
