Significant Impacts of Work-Related Cerebrovascular and Cardiovascular Diseases among Young Workers: A Nationwide Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: While occupational factors linked to the onset of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been reported among workers, much remains unknown about the impacts that occupation has on the onset of CVDs in various age groups. We attempted to describe temporal trends in total and work-related CVDs (WRCVDs) rates stratified by age and year and explore the relative contributions of work to the CVD risk. Methods: This study was conducted using two populations from the Labor Insurance Database as the working population and the National Health Insurance Research Database as the general population. We included all people aged 15?75 years from 2006 to 2013. All CVD events and WRCVD events were identified. A Poisson regression was used to estimate the morbidity rate ratio (RR) stratified by age and period, and an RR adjusted for residual confounding was also used. Results: Incident CVD rates increased with aging in the general population (from 1113.55 to 1853.32 per 100,000 persons), and WRCVD rates increased in the working population over time (from 2.10 in 2006 to 8.60 in 2013 per 100,000 persons). In the age and period analysis, CVD attacks showed disparities in different populations. The RR of the WRCVD risk was mainly in the working population aged >45 years, and the RR of the CVD risk occurred in the oldest group (aged 55?64 years) of the general population. The population-attributable risk of working exposure was 13.5%. After eliminating residual confounding factors, higher population attributed risk (PAR) work-related excessive CVD risk mainly occurred in workers aged 25?34 and 35?44 years. A decreasing PAR trend was found in the age groups as follows: 15?24, 25?34, 35?44, 45?54, and 55?64 years, with percentages of 17.64%, 16.89%, 16.46%, 10.6%, and 0.65%, respectively. Conclusions: There is evidence that period and age trends of CVD rates differed between the working population and general population. Relative effects attributed to work were more severe in younger workers, particularly in workers aged <55 years.

Project description:Background and Aims: Atherosclerosis, a major contributor to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, remains a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity. This study focuses on the role of chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) in VSMCs and its potential impact on atherosclerotic plaque formation and remodelling. Methods: Cmklr1-/-Apoe-/- mice, generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, were fed a high-fat western diet for 16 weeks to model atherosclerosis. Primary VSMCs were isolated from Cmklr1-/- and Cmklr1+/+ mice for in vitro experiments. Cell viability, senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, and RNA interference were performed to assess the effect of CMKLR1 deficiency on VSMCs. Various assays, including flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and RNA-seq analysis, were employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms and downstream signals associated with CMKLR1 deficiency. Results: CMKLR1 deficiency was found to disrupt the cell cycle, leading to VSMC senescence both in vitro and in vivo. Cmklr1-/-Apoe-/- mice exhibited increased atherosclerotic plaque burden, emphasizing the role of CMKLR1 in plaque stability. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant changes in cellular components and biological processes, with a particular impact on the extracellular matrix and cellular response to stimulus. The TGFβ signalling pathway emerged as a potential downstream target of CMKLR1, affecting VSMC differentiation, vessel development, and extracellular matrix synthesis. The deficiency of CMKLR1 led to a reduction in TGFβ1 expression and downstream molecule SM22α, influencing plaque composition and stability. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that CMKLR1 deficiency promotes VSMC senescence and exacerbates atherosclerosis. The disrupted TGFβ signalling pathway, identified as a potential molecular mechanism, provides insights into the complex regulatory network associated with CMKLR1 in atherosclerotic plaque formation and remodelling. These findings highlight the importance of CMKLR1 in atherosclerosis and its potential as a therapeutic target for plaque stability.

Project description:IntroductionCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death, and there is evidence that work exposures could be associated with their development. This study aimed to systematically review observational studies of adults exposed to job strain, effort-reward imbalance, long working hours, job insecurity, shift work, and occupational noise, and assess the association of those work exposures with CVDs.MethodsThe Navigation Guide framework was applied. The population were adults of working age (18-65), and cohort and case-control studies were included. The work exposures were job strain, effort-reward imbalance, long working hours, job insecurity, shift work, and occupational noise. The outcomes were cerebrovascular diseases, ischaemic heart disease, and hypertensive diseases. The selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and quality assessment were carried out by two reviewers independently and disagreements were solved by a third reviewer or by consensus. The synthesis of the results was done by applying the 'vote counting based on direction' method, and the results were summarized in an effect direction plot. The strength of the evidence for every risk factor and CVD was defined by consensus.ResultsA total of 17 643 papers were initially identified in the literature search, but after applying the filters by title and abstract, and full text, 86 studies were finally included. From the included studies, sufficient evidence was found of the harmfulness of job strain for cerebrovascular disease and ischemic heart disease. Furthermore, there was sufficient evidence of the harmfulness of shift work for ischemic heart disease. Evidence of no relationship was found between long working hours and shift work with ischaemic heart disease and hypertensive disease, respectively. The other associations of work exposures and CVDs had limited or inadequate evidence of harmfulness.ConclusionsIn this comprehensive review, there was sufficient evidence of a harmful relationship between job strain, shift work, and CVDs. For the other work exposures, more high-quality studies are needed. In order to improve current prevention strategies for CVDs, the findings of this review imply that job strain and shift work are work exposures that constitute additional risk factors that could be approached as targets for worksite interventions.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42020179972.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The C825T polymorphism (rs5443) of the Guanine Nucleotide-Binding protein subunit ?3 (GNB3) gene has been associated with obesity, essential hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary diseases, and cerebrovascular events, but with some sex-specific effects. Its association with inflammatory mediators such as cell adhesion molecules has not been studied, although they are heavily involved in cardiovascular diseases' (CVDs) processes. The aim of our study was then to investigate a possible sex-specific effect of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism on serum soluble cell adhesion molecules such as E, P and L-selectins (sE, sP and sL-selectins). RESULTS:Participants were from the STANISLAS Family Study and were free of chronic disease as CVDs or cancer. We included in total 771 subjects aged 6 to 58 years (391 males (50.71%) and 380 females (49.29%)). No significant association of rs5443 was observed in the whole population with serum sE, sP and sL-selectins after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, anti-inflammatory drugs and hormonal drugs consumption. A significant interaction of rs5443 was observed with sex for sE-selectin (p?<?0.001), but not for sP and sL-selectins. After adjusting for covariables, the T allele was significantly associated with an additive increase effect on serum sE-selectin levels in males (??=?5.03?±?2.18; p?=?0.020), while a significant additive decrease effect was observed in females (??=-4.46?±?2.06; p?=?0.030). These associations stayed significant after correction for multiple tests (p?=?0.045 in males and in females). The additive phenotypic variance was 21.54% in males versus 1.91% in females. CONCLUSIONS:In our Caucasian population, the GNB3 C825T polymorphism showed a significant sex-specific effect on serum sE-selectin levels, with a disadvantage for males, as increased sE-selectin levels has been associated with CVDs outcomes. The T allele has been previously associated with the same CVDs as increased sE-selectin, but more often in males. The link we observed between this polymorphism and E-selectin is then consistent with previous findings, and helps to better understand the deleterious effect of the GNB3 825 T allele on CVDs outcomes in males. We revealed in this study an important pathway through which the GNB3 gene induces CVDs' outcomes.
