The interaction effect of effort-reward imbalance and overcommitment on hypertension among Chinese workers: findings from SHISO study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Use of worker's compensation (WC) as payer underestimates work-related (WR) injuries. We evaluated three methods to identify WR injuries: WC as payer, ICD-9-CM work-status codes E000.0/E000.1, and other ICD-9-CM external cause codes. METHODS:We identified injury-related emergency department visits from Nort...
