Introduction Psychosocial working conditions such as employment precariousness or an imbalance between effort and reward at the workplace might result in cardiovascular diseases. One marker of cardiovascular effects is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). The objective of this study was to analyse the relation between precarious employment and HRV in health and administrative workers employed at a hospital in Mexico City. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 206 hospital employees without known cardiovascular diseases participated (response 90%). An interview-based questionnaire assessed sociodemographics, employment conditions, employment precariousness (EPRES) and lifestyle factors. HRV was measured over 10 min in sitting posture. Standard Deviation (SDNN) of the RR intervals over a five minutes was calculated (IBM SPSS 24). Results Healthcare personnel (n=106) was less likely to be active smokers (9% vs 29%) than administrative workers. Healthcare workers reported lower employment duration (24% vs 7% duration Discussion Although Mexican healthcare professionals frequently suffer from precarious employment conditions, shift work was the main predictor for lower HRV in our study population. |
