Adaptation to professional stress and metabolic syndrome in the bank employees

Objective. To assess the role of disorders of psychological adaptation to professional stress in development of metabolic syndrome (MS) in bank employees. Design and methods. 703 bank employees (206 males and 497 females) aged 20-59 years were screened. Fasting lipids, glucose, anthropometry, blood pressure were measured. The questionnaires regarding life-style risk factors, professional satisfaction and coping style (CISS questionnaire) were applied. Results. Signifi cant association between MS components and psychological adaptation to professional stress was not revealed. Employees older 40 years with MS components have higher satisfaction in professional activity. Females younger 40 years with MS components more seldom apply emotionally-focused coping strategy and more often use smoking in stressing situations, but age-matched males more often use coping strategy called «social diversion». In elder employees (both males and females) MS risk was associated with preference of avoidance-oriented coping strategies aimed at distraction from actual problems and decrease of emotional tension by switching attention to entertainments, including emotional food intake. Conclusions. A weak direct association between psychological adaptation to professional stress and risk of MS was revealed only in the group of younger employees. Preference of avoidance-oriented coping strategy might play an important role in development of MS.
