Public health and clinical medicine should identify and characterize modifiable risk factors for skin cancer in order to facilitate primary prevention. In existing literature, the impact of occupational exposure on skin cancer, including malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, has been extensively studied. This review summarizes the available epidemiological evidence on the significance of occupational risk factors and occupations associated with a higher risk in skin cancer.

We investigated the association between marginal part-time work and depressive symptoms in Korea and European countries to suggest policy implications.
Methods: This study used data from the sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) from 2020 to 2021 and European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS) in 2021.
Background: The present study aimed to analyze several aspects of the working conditions and health status of platform workers in the Republic of Korea, such as ergonomic and emotional hazards. We also compared the health status of the platform workers with that of the general population.
Methods: A total of 1,000 platform workers participated in this survey from August 7 to August 17, 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Irregular working hours have been a controversial issue in Korea, with little research on their health impact related to work-related musculoskeletal pain (MSP).
- The study analyzed data from the 2020 Korean Working Conditions Survey, finding a significant association between irregular working hours and increased prevalence of work-related MSP.
- Those with irregular and long working hours (over 52 hours/week) faced the highest risk of MSP, highlighting the need for reforms to avoid adverse health outcomes.
For primary prevention, it is important for public health and clinical medicine to identify and characterize modifiable risk factors of stroke. In existing literature, the impact of occupational variables on ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke has been extensively studied. This review summarizes the available data on the significance of occupational variables in stroke.
