“…A length of service of more than 5 years in the cotton sector has also been associated with hypertension. This result is similar to that of Panda et al 21 , who found an increase in risk according to seniority in the textile sector in Congo in a bivariate analysis.…”

“…The prevalence of hypertension in this study is similar to that observed in the general population of Benin. However, it is lower than the 32.5% and 49.3% achieved respectiveley by Panda et al 21 in a textile company in Congo in 2020, and by Ngombe et al 29 in flour mills in Lubumbashi in Congo in 2015. Meanwhile, the prevalence in our study is higher than that of Dia et al 22 obtained in a study conducted in an aluminum processing company in Cameroon.…”

“…In the textile spinning sector, one study showed an association between hypertension and occupational stress as measured by the Karasek model. 21 Several other authors have found similar results, but in the tertiary sector, Kusuayi Mabele et al 34 in Congo in 2015 and Hinson et al 20 in a bank in Benin in 2016. It should be noted that the prevalence of occupational stress varies from one sector of activity to another 25 35 and that the risk of hypertension could be correlated with it.…”

“…In the cotton ginning sector, there are almost no data on occupational stress and hypertension. In the textile spinning sector, one study showed an association between hypertension and occupational stress as measured by the Karasek model 21. Several other authors have found similar results, but in the tertiary sector, Kusuayi Mabele et al 34 in Congo in 2015 and Hinson et al 20 in a bank in Benin in 2016.…”

“…19 20 In the industrial sector, data on occupational factors associated with hypertension are scarce in the subregion. The textile industry in Congo 21 and the metallurgy industry in Cameroon 22 show variations in occupational factors associated with hypertension, and psychosocial factors at work are often mentioned. In Benin, little information is available on the industrial sector, and in particular on ginning plants, where several occupational risk factors may interact to promote hypertension.…”

ObjectiveTo determine the association between occupational factors, particularly psychosocial factors, and hypertension.DesignDescriptive and analytical cross-sectional study using logistic multivariate regression.SettingFifteen cotton ginning plants in Benin.ParticipantsPermanent and occasional workers in the cotton ginning industry.Data collectionData on sociodemographic, occupational, behavioural and clinical history characteristics were collected using a number of standardised, interviewer-administered questionnaires. These questionnaires were based on the WHO’s non-communicable disease questionnaire, Karasek questionnaire and Siegrist questionnaire. Weight, height and blood pressure were measured. Any worker with systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg according to the WHO criteria was considered hypertensive, as was any subject on antihypertensive treatment even if blood pressure was normal.ResultsA total of 1883 workers were included, with a male to female ratio of 9.08. Of these, 510 suffered from hypertension (27.1%, 95% CI 25.1 to 29.2). In the multivariate analysis, the risk factors identified were occupational stress (adjusted OR (aOR)=3.96, 95% CI 1.28 to 12.2), age ≥25 years (aOR=2.77, 95% CI 1.55 to 4.96), body mass index of 25–30 kg/m2(aOR=1.71, 95% CI 1.32 to 2.2), body mass index >30 kg/m2(aOR=2.74, 95% CI 1.84 to 4.09), permanent worker status (aOR=1.66, 95% CI 1.44 to 2.41) and seniority in the textile sector >5 years (aOR=2.18, 95% CI 1.7 to 2.8). Recognition at work emerged as an effect-modifying factor subject to stratification.ConclusionsOccupational factors, particularly job strain and recognition at work, are modifiable factors associated with hypertension in the ginning plants sector and deserve to be corrected through occupational health promotion and prevention.

Background Hypertension remains one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Contrasting with the high-income countries where the rates of hypertension decline, it increases in Sub-Saharan African countries. The age group most affected by hypertension is the working population. Several studies carried out in Europe, North America, and Asia, underline the influence of job stress on the occurrence of hypertension. The objective of this review was to explore current knowledge about hypertension and job stress in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods We conducted a scoping review using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework to synthesize findings. We searched in PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. The inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed manuscripts published on March 1, 2023, conducted among workers in Sub-Saharan Africa, reported hypertension and job stress, and using quantitative methodologies. Data were assessed independently by two researchers. Results In total, 295 articles were identified from databases. Of these, only 12 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review (9 cross-sectional studies and 3 case–control studies). These studies focused on sectors reported as stressful (health, banking, education, and industries). The prevalence of hypertension varied from 14.3% to 45.9%, with a high proportion of hypertensive participants (35.4%-70.6%) who were unaware that they had hypertension. Job stress was significantly associated with hypertension (OR = 2.4 [1.5–4.4]) and stress management was inversely associated with hypertension (r = -0.14, p < 0.05). However, no study reported an existing workplace health promotion program implemented, especially regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors. Conclusion Data available in the literature show that stressful working conditions may be associated with hypertension. We are faced with an increasing prevalence of hypertension among workers in Sub-Saharan Africa, where a large proportion of them are unaware that they have hypertension. Thus, there is a need to implement workplace prevention and health promotion strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
