Abstract

Background: This study aimed to assess work ability score (WAS) in 2018 based on self-reported data regarding inhalable occupational exposure and data from a northern European job-exposure matrix (N-JEM) recorded in 2013.

Methods: During the 5-year follow-up period of this population-based study, 4423 participants completed a postal questionnaire comprising self-reported questions regarding occupational exposure, work history, and WAS.

Results: Ever, weekly, and daily exposure to vapors, gas, dust and fumes (VGDF) in the last 5 years in 2013 was associated with reduced WAS in 2018. The N-JEM data showed that exposure to irritants, wood and paper dust, and mixed agricultural agents were associated with reduced WAS.

Conclusions: Exposure to several occupational inhalable substances is associated with reduced work ability. We recommend reducing inhalable occupational exposure to prevent reduced work ability.

职业性暴露于可吸入剂与工作能力降低有关：挪威的一项前瞻性队列研究。

背景：本研究旨在基于自我报告的可吸入性职业暴露数据和2013年北欧工作暴露矩阵（N-JEM）的数据，评估2018年的工作能力评分（WAS）。方法：在这项以人群为基础的研究的5年随访期间，4423名参与者完成了一份邮政问卷，包括关于职业暴露、工作经历和WAS的自我报告问题。结果：2013年过去5年中，每周和每天接触蒸汽、气体、粉尘和烟雾（VGDF）与2018年was减少有关。N-JEM的数据显示，暴露于刺激物、木材和纸粉尘以及混合农业剂与WAS降低有关。结论：暴露于几种职业性可吸入物质与工作能力下降有关。我们建议减少可吸入性职业暴露，以防止工作能力下降。
