摘要：

Objective: To examine whether long work hours are associated,with increased levels and prevalences of anxiety and depression. Methods: Overtime workers (n = 1350) were compared with a reference group of 9092 workers not working overtime regarding anxiety and depression by means of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Self-reported information on various work-related factors, demographics, lifestyle, and somatic health was included. Results: Overtime workers of both genders had significantly higher anxiety and depression levels and higher prevalences of anxiety and depressive disorders compared with those working normal hours. Findings suggest a dose-response relationship between work hours and anxiety or depression. Conclusions: Working overtime is associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression. The working groups differed significantly; regarding several factors including income and heavy manual labor.
