Prevalence of AOO varied by: (i) data sources (registry/compensation: 50.1% versus clinic: 32.0%; P=0.015); (ii) study size (>80 participants: 43.4% versus ≤80: 27.9%; P=0.033); (iii) baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁) (≤85% predicted: 38.2% versus >85% predicted: 13.8%; P=0.008); and (iv) exposure duration before symptom onset (>7.1 years: 35.7% versus ≤7.1 years: 15.7%; P=0.015). Heterogeneity across studies was substantial and several subgroups included fewer than five studies. Conclusions More than one-third of workers with OA experience an AOO. The findings highlight the need for harmonized outcome definitions and for interventions integrating early referral, exposure control, and structured return-to-work programs to avoid AOO. by Damerau LS, Helm MW, Pieter J, Velasco Garrido M, Harth V, Hoven H, Preisser AM. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4287]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4287 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4287 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:44:50 +0200 Original article by Lu H, Jin Y, Huang C, Lin L, Zhang X, Wang W, Lian Y. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4284]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4284 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4284 Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:21:39 +0200 Original article by Madeline V, Galvin A, De Graaf L, Engelhardt J, Lebailly P, Baldi I. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4286]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4286 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4286 Mon, 16 Mar 2026 23:38:45 +0200 Original article by Hadžibajramović E, Dahlqvist I, Jonsdottir IH, De Witte H. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4279]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4279 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4279 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 18:30:26 +0200 Original article by Salonen L, Falkstedt D, Pan K-Y, Albin M, Mehlum IS, Undem K, Leinonen T, Solovieva S. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4280]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4280 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4280 Mon, 02 Mar 2026 13:24:50 +0200 Commentary by Guseva Canu I, van der Molen HF. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4281]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4281 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4281 Thu, 26 Feb 2026 23:09:55 +0200 Original article by Ma J, Pingcuo Y, Jin X, Wang J, Wang H, Lan Y. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4278]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4278 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4278 Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:50:51 +0200 Original article 24 hours/week) and supplementary (≤24 hours/week) gig workers. Methods Survey data from 397 Belgian gig workers were used to construct a multidimensional, gig-specific measure of PE (the Employment Precariousness Scale for gig work: ‘EPRES-gw’). Structural equation modeling was applied to test mediation by IQW dimensions and examine differences between main and supplementary gig workers. Results PE was positively associated with poor mental well-being among main but not supplementary workers. Among main gig workers, the relationship was mediated by high work intensity, physical demands, and low social support. For supplementary workers, low autonomy mediated the association. Conclusion PE is particularly relevant for the mental well-being of main gig workers. The role of IQW is important, though the key dimensions differ by time spent in in gig work. These findings highlight the need for policy interventions and research addressing both employment rights and IQW-related psychosocial risks, with approaches tailored to the distinct challenges of main versus supplementary gig workers. by Vandevenne E, Vanroelen C, Stas L, Gevaert J. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4277]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4277 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4277 Fri, 06 Feb 2026 13:09:31 +0200 Review by Nilsen W, Nordberg T, Lescoeur K, Ingelsrud MH, Egeland C. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4272]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4272 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4272 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 15:32:08 +0200 Original article by Park H, Lee J, Park Y, Sim J, Yoon J-H, Yun B. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4275]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4275 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4275 Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:38:10 +0200 Original article by Torén K, Olin A-C, Åberg M, Cummings KJ, Schiöler L, Blanc PD. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4269]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4269 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4269 Sun, 04 Jan 2026 21:55:34 +0200 Original article by Akerstrom M, Wahlström J, Reineholm C, Jonsdottir IH. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4262]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4262 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4262 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 17:49:39 +0200 Discussion paper by Holtermann A, Sørensen OH, Jacobsen SS, Lindberg L, Andersen LL. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4260]]> http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4260 http://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=4260 Sun, 23 Nov 2025 22:12:00 +0200 Original article by Skovlund SV, Wester CT, Kyriakidis S, Brusaca LA, Andersen LL, Sundstrup E, Rasmussen CDN]]>
