Occupational differences in COVID-19 diseases – A wave-specific analysis of 3.17 million insured persons Objective: Previous results on occupational the infection risk are heterogeneous. One reason for this could be different observation periods previous studies. Wave-specific analyses not yet available. The aim paper is to investigate disease risks along characteristics first four waves pandemic. Methods: study uses health insurance data from research database InGef (Institute Applied Health Research) more than men and women between 18 67 years age. To compare associations, a distinction was made main pandemic 01.01.2020 31.12.2021. SARS-CoV-2 infections were determined basis transmitted diagnoses (ICD codes U07.1!). Occupations divided according groupings official classification occupations. In addition incidence rates, multivariable Cox regressions estimated (adjusted sex, age region). Results: Personal service occupations (esp. healthcare occupations) showed significantly higher especially at beginning (waves 1 2), but these rates comparable those other with increased during course Production (especially manufacturing occupations), hand, had rather low pandemic, as progressed. kind reversal lower also observed lowskilled or without management function.

Опубликована: Фев. 9, 2024

To understand dynamic relationships between these factors, we analyzed time-varying associations psychiatric vulnerability, loneliness, psychological distress, social distancing in a longitudinal study during first year pandemic. Participants (n = 3655) were surveyed regarding outcomes COVID-19-related circumstances every two weeks for six months. We combined self-reported outcomes, regional estimates, vulnerability classifier that predicted probabillity diagnosis at time enrollment. Loneliness both impacted distress. distress also linked distancing, loneliness fully mediated distancing’s Future policies should address when encouraged, particularly those risk conditions.

Individuals with higher education reduced both 84.1%) 70.1%) more than those lower levels (private 59.5%; 37%). Younger age groups (18–30 years) frequently 85.4%) older individuals (61–83 years, by 68.6%) demonstrated likelihood compared (51–60 years: odds ratio (OR) 0.45 [95% [CI] 0.32–0.65]; 61–83 OR 0.33 0.22–0.48]).
