Can Glycosylated Hemoglobin Be a Job Stress Parameter?

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are evaluated as a possible integrated measure parameter of chronic job stress. HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels in 100 healthy male printing workers (pressmen) exposed to noise, rotating shifts, and overwork were compared with levels measured in 200 heal...

Description
Summary:Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are evaluated as a possible integrated measure parameter of chronic job stress. HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels in 100 healthy male printing workers (pressmen) exposed to noise, rotating shifts, and overwork were compared with levels measured in 200 healthy male clerical workers not exposed to those Stressors. While blood glucose levels and their variability were found to be approximately the same in both groups, HbA1c levels were found to be 8.64% higher among the pressmen and this difference was significant at p
