代谢综合征已成为世界范围内的主要健康威胁,但是很少有研究关注家务对人体新陈代谢的影响。这项研究探讨了家务劳动与代谢标志物之间的关联,并研究了这些标志物上家务劳动强度的关系是否存在性别差异。
我们从中国健康与营养调查中获得了2,624名参与者的数据,并使用二元逻辑回归分析了家务与代谢标志物(甘油三酯,高密度和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇,血红蛋白,血糖,胆固醇,和血压)。
我们观察到男性的家务和代谢指标之间没有关联。然而,我们发现从事家务劳动的女性患甘油三酯的风险高于不从事家务劳动的女性(OR=1.16,95%CI:1.16,4.25).与低强度相比,我们还发现,从事中等和高家务强度的女性患甘油三酯的风险更高(中等强度:OR=1.78,95%CI:1.14,2.78;高强度:OR=1.91,95%CI:1.22,2.98),MetS(OR=1.54,95%CI:0.98,2.43;OR=1.68,95%CI:1.07,2.66),高血压前期(OR=1.68,95%CI:1.08,2.62;OR=1.63,95%CI:1.04,2.55),和肥胖(OR=1.65,95%CI:1.01,2.70;OR=1.66,95%CI:1.01,2.72)。
在女性中,我们发现家务与代谢指标呈正相关,甘油三酯,MetS,和高血压前期。然而,我们没有发现这种关系存在于男性中的证据,F或我们考虑的任何生物标志物。一种可能的解释是,从事高强度家务劳动的人压力更大,睡眠更少,这可能是家务与代谢疾病相关的一种机制。
Metabolic syndrome has become a major health threat throughout the world, but there are few studies that focus on the effects of housework on human metabolism. This
study explores the association between housework and metabolic markers and examines whether there are gender differences in the relationship of housework intensity on these markers.
We obtained data for 2,624 participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey and used binary logistic regression to analyze the association between housework and metabolic markers (triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hemoglobin, blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure).
We observed no association between housework and metabolic markers for men. However, we find that women who engaged in housework had a higher risk of triglycerides than those who did not (OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.16, 4.25). Compared with low-intensity, we also find that women who performed moderate- and high-housework intensity had a higher risk of triglycerides (moderate-intensity: OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.78; high-intensity: OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.22, 2.98), MetS (OR=1.54, 95% CI: 0.98, 2.43; OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.07, 2.66), pre-hypertension (OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.62; OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.55), and obesity (OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.70; OR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.72).
In women, we find that housework is positively associated with the metabolic markers, triglycerides, MetS, and pre-hypertension. However, we did not find evidence that this relationship exists in men, f or any biomarkers we considered. One possible explanation is that people who engage in high-intensity housework are more stressed and sleep less, which could be a mechanism by which housework becomes associated with metabolic disease.
