Bullying and violence in the workplace were linked with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes in a large Scandinavian cohort study.
Over approximately 12 years of follow-up, being bullied at work was associated with a 46% increase in risk for developing type 2 diabetes (hazard ratio 1.46, 95% CI 1.23-1.74), after adjusting for factors including age, sex, education level, and marital status, reported Tianwei Xu, a PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and colleagues.
Similarly, exposure to workplace violence or threats of violence was linked with a 26% rise in type 2 diabetes risk (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.02-1.56), the authors wrote online in Diabetologia.
