In celebration of #InternationalWomensDay, OCRC would like to spotlight some of our research that focuses on women’s occupational health: https://bit.ly/ocrciwd24 Exploring sex differences in lung cancer risk among Ontario workers: https://lnkd.in/gEN_f9Td - Our study found that several occupations, such as wood processing, metal machining, and motor transport operating, demonstrated stronger associations for lung cancer in females, with at least a 20% increased risk compared to males. Occupational exposures among nail technicians: https://lnkd.in/gvjuVvqv - We found that nail salon workers in Toronto (who were mostly women) may be exposed to diverse hazards including chemicals (e.g., the “toxic trio” - formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate and toluene), psychosocial risks (i.e., high job strain), and ergonomic hazards. The impact of night shift work on breast cancer: https://lnkd.in/gWUb-9Pn - Based on the Burden of Occupational Cancer study, an estimated 470 to 1200 new female breast cancer cases each year are likely due to night shift work, based on 2011 cancer statistics. Of these, 38% occur among women in health-related occupations. Looking ahead, OCRC is examining the risk of various diseases among female workers, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Raynaud’s phenomenon, carpal tunnel syndrome, and opioid-related harms. #InspireInclusion #IWD2024

New research from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) reveals a concerning correlation between outdoor work and #nonmelanoma skin cancer deaths. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, stated that unprotected exposure to solar #ultraviolet #radiation at work constitutes a major cause of occupational skin cancer. “But there are effective solutions to protect workers from the sun’s harmful rays and prevent their deadly effects,” “At work, ensuring a safe and healthy working environment is a fundamental right,” said Gilbert F. Houngbo, ILO Director-General. To address this critical issue, the WHO, ILO, World Meteorological Organization, and the United Nations Environment Programme have introduced the SunSmart Global UV App https://lnkd.in/dvUP2Cbu #mededgemea #skincare #skincancer #skincancerawareness #skincancerprevention #sunsmart #ILO #WHO #worksafety #protectyourskin #sunscreen

I saw the results of a survey recently which indicated 1 in 5 women experience stress incontinence (leakage when coughing/laughing or sneezing for example) and 1 in 4 women experience urge incontinence (sudden overwhelming desire to go to the toilet which can result in leakage). It made me think about how Pelvic Floor Health is not really spoken about openly enough and so many women don’t get the help that they need. This made me rather cross! Particularly because in many cases women are led to believe that accidental peeing is a normal part of life and the only option is to wear pads to protect their clothing and dignity. I wish that the message being given out would be informing women that this is common to experience, but it is NOT inevitable, and it CAN be resolved. Initially a visit to the GP is a good idea because pelvic floor health can be negatively affected by infections or hormone levels (for example if you are peri-menopausal). Pelvic Floor muscle strengthening via ‘squeezes’ (or Kegels) are often suggested in the first instance; but it can help to investigate tension in the body because pelvic floor muscles need to be able to relax, when necessary, as well. If there is tension in the body, it’s hard for them to do this. Tweaks to the types of food eaten and types of drinks consumed, toileting techniques (to avoid straining), and other lifestyle factors (such as exercise regimes) can also help. This is not an exhaustive list; the point is that there are things that can be done and there is help available.
