ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the association between emotional labor and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among Korean workers.MethodsThis study used data from the Korean Work, Health, and Sleep Study. Emotional labor was measured using the Korean Emotional Labour Scale-11, and participants were classified into high- and low-risk groups. CVD risk factors assessed included smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, sleep duration, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. Generalized estimating equation models were used to analyze the associations.ResultsHigh-risk emotional labor was significantly associated with increased odds of smoking, lack of exercise, and insufficient sleep. Chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia also showed elevated odds in the high-risk group, particularly among males.ConclusionsThis study suggests emotional labor as a critical occupational stressor contributing to various CVD risk factors.
