Does serological pattern of anti-HBc alone infer occult hepatitis B virus infection in high-risk individuals in Iran?
Our study showed that the serological pattern of anti-HBc alone could reflect occult HBV infection in high risk cases but did not presume occult HBV infection in low-risk individuals.
Work exposures in the form of high physical load, low levels of decision authority and skill discretion, or a high level of psychological demands were significantly related to poor health also when income was high, suggesting that high income does not seem to buffer the detrimental effects of adverse working conditions. As nearly half of employed women were found to be in circumstances marked by synergy, it seems a relevant public health issue to improve these women's conditions at work, by simultaneously increasing, for example, job variety and wages.
