abstract: 'Background Compared with wage and salary work, self-employment has been
linked to more favorable cardiovascular health outcomes within the
general population. Women comprise a significant proportion of the
self-employed workforce and are disproportionately affected by
cardiovascular disease. Self-employed women represent a unique
population in that their cardiovascular health outcomes may be related
to gender-specific advantages of non-traditional employment. To date, no
studies have comprehensively explored the association between
self-employment and risk factors for cardiovascular disease among women.
Methods We conducted a weighted cross-sectional analysis using data from
the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Our study
sample consisted of 4624 working women (employed for wages and
self-employed) enrolled in the 2016 HRS cohort. Multivariable linear and
logistic regression were used to examine the relationship between
self-employment and several self-reported physical and mental health
risk factors for cardiovascular disease, controlling for healthcare
access. Results Among working women, self-employment was associated with
a 34\% decrease in the odds of reporting obesity, a 43\% decrease in the
odds of reporting hypertension, a 30\% decrease in the odds of reporting
diabetes, and a 68\% increase in the odds of reporting participation in
at least twice-weekly physical activity (p < 0.05). BMI for
self-employed women was on average 1.79 units lower than it was for
women working for wages (p < 0.01). Conclusions Employment structure may
have important implications for cardiovascular health among women, and
future studies should explore the causal relationship between
self-employment and cardiovascular health outcomes in this population.
