OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate fractions of diseases attributable to job strain defined using Karasek's model among the French working population for @entity65 ( @entity65 ), @entity146 , and @entity85 ( @entity85 ). METHODS: Job strain was defined as the combination of high psychological demands and low decision latitude. The prevalence of exposure (P (e)) was estimated using the representative national sample of 24,486 employees of the French SUMER survey. Relative risks (RR) were estimated from a literature review (1990-2008) using the same inclusion criteria for the three health outcomes. P (e) and RR estimates were used to calculate @entity13415 ( @entity13415 ). RESULTS: P (e) estimates were 19.6% for @entity1 , 28.2% for @entity1 , and 23.2% for @entity1 and @entity1 combined. The literature review led to a selection of 13 studies for @entity65 , 7 studies for @entity146 , and 11 studies for @entity85 . RR estimates were 0.63-2.45 for @entity65 (morbidity and mortality), 1.2-3.3 for @entity146 , and 0.94-2.3 for @entity85 . @entity13415 estimates for @entity65 morbidity were 4.9-21.5% for @entity1 , 0-15.9% for @entity1 , and 6.5-25.2% for @entity1 and @entity1 combined, for @entity65 mortality 7.9-21.5% for @entity1 , 2.5% for @entity1 , and 6.5-25.2% for @entity1 and @entity1 combined, for @entity146 10.2-31.1% for @entity1 , 5.3-33.6% for @entity1 , and 6.5% for @entity1 and @entity1 combined, and for @entity85 0-19.6% for @entity1 , 0-26.8% for @entity1 , and 3.4-19.9% for @entity1 and @entity1 combined. CONCLUSION: This study is the first one to provide fractions of diseases attributable to job strain for three health outcomes in France on the basis of a systematic review of the literature. These results could contribute to the estimation of the economic cost of diseases attributable to job strain.
