“…Psychosocial factors at work and long work hours might increase the frequency of eating higher caloric value food (44), decrease physical activity (45), and reduce sleep (46,93). They may also increase the risk of weight gain and obesity directly through neuroendocrine pathways (40).…”

“…Second, psychosocial exposures may increase the risk of weight gain and obesity indirectly through an unhealthy diet, such as the consumption of fatty and sweet foods, or sedentary behavior outside work and reduced sleep (behavioral pathway) (41,(44)(45)(46). Several other factors, such as age, personality, and social support during and outside work may influence the way workers respond to a stressful environment (47,48).…”

This is a systematic review of associations of psychosocial factors at work and long work hours with weight-related outcomes. Reviewed studies provide some evidence for associations between psychosocial factors at work and excess weight and between long work hours and weight gain. Cohort studies of high quality using appropriate analytical methods based on an elaborated hypothetical model are needed. Affiliation 241Review Scand J Work Environ Health. 2013;39(3):241-258. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3364 Psychosocial factors at work, long work hours, and obesity: a systematic review Objectives Associations between psychosocial work environment and excess weight have not been systematically addressed. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the published evidence for the associations of psychosocial factors at work and long work hours with weight-related outcomes. MethodsWe conducted a search of Medline and Embase for all original articles published up to September 2012 using predefined keywords. After excluding studies with a definite selection bias, we included 39 articles.Results About 60% of the studies reported at least one positive association between psychosocial factors at work and a weight-related outcome. However, 76% of the tested associations were found to be non-significant. Furthermore, the associations were rather weak. Studies of higher quality tended to observe associations more often than those of lower quality. Positive associations were found more frequently (i) among women versus men, (ii) in cross-sectional versus longitudinal studies, and (iii) for overweight or obesity versus other outcomes. About 70% of the studies reported positive associations between long work hours and weight-related outcomes. All four studies that evaluated the association between working overtime and weight gain (three longitudinal and one cross-sectional), showed a positive association among men and two of them also observed associations among women. ConclusionsWe found evidence for weak associations between psychosocial factors at work and excess weight.Associations were observed between long work hours, working overtime, and weight gain, especially among men. More cohort studies among non-obese baseline participants using appropriate analytical methods based on an elaborated hypothetical model are needed.

“…For many people of working age, a considerable part of the total sedentary time on a workday occurs during working hours (14,15). Thus, too much sitting and too little PA during working hours has been raised as an emerging major public health concern by several authors (16)(17)(18), and recommendations have been proposed to ensure sufficient PA at work (19).…”

Interventions to reduce sedentary behavior and increase physical activity during productive work: a systematic review by Commissaris DACM, Huysmans MA, Mathiassen SE, Srinivasan D, Koppes LLJ, Hendriksen IJM This systematic review on interventions intended to change workers' sedentary behavior or physical activity is the first to focus on initiatives that can be implemented during productive work and that change behavior while workers perform their usual jobs. Thus, the review offers decision support when selecting effective interventions for improved health and well-being that are compatible with maintained production.Key terms: activity-permissive workstation; alternative workstation; best-evidence synthesis; intervention; personalized behavioral intervention; physical activity; physical inactivity; productive work; review; sedentary behavior; sitting; stair use; systematic review; workplace This article in PubMed: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26683116 Additional materialPlease note that there is additional material available belonging to this article on the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health -website.

Interventions to reduce sedentary behavior and increase physical activity during productive work: a systematic review. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2016;42(3): 181-191. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3544 Objectives Many current jobs are characterized by sedentary behavior (SB) and lack of physical activity (PA).This review addresses the effectiveness of workplace interventions that are implemented during productive work and are intended to change workers' SB and/or PA. MethodsWe searched Scopus for articles published from 1992 until 12 March 2015. Relevant studies were evaluated using the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies and summarized in a best-evidence synthesis. Primary outcomes were SB and PA, both at work and overall (ie, during the whole day); work performance and health-related parameters were secondary outcomes. ResultsThe review included 40 studies describing 41 interventions organized into three categories: alternative workstations (20), interventions promoting stair use (11), and personalized behavioral interventions (10). Alternative workstations were found to decrease overall SB (strong evidence; even for treadmills separately); interventions promoting stair use were found to increase PA at work while personalized behavioral interventions increased overall PA (both with moderate evidence). There was moderate evidence to show alternative workstations influenced neithe...
