| Annotation | The objective was to investigate whether increasing health heterogeneity during middle age is attributed, at least in part, to the influence of varying levels of, and changes in, work control. The study used four waves of the data from the Iowa Midlife Transition Project (MTP) for 372 employed rural women and 320 employed men over a 10-year period. Variables included self-reported work control, stressful non-work life events, and mental and physical health. The analyses used latent growth curve modelling. The results partially supported the hypothesised pathways For middle-aged men, work control directly influences health outcomes through the occurrence of stressful life events. Through understanding these processes, work can be better designed to promote positive health outcomes, minimise negative health outcomes, and allow for better formulation and more effective implementation of health promotion programmes.
