"This study examines the effect of changes in physical and psychosocial working conditions on physical health functioning among midlife and ageing municipal employees. We found that adverse changes in physical working conditions and job control are associated with increased decline in physical health functioning over a 10-12-year follow-up, whereas favorable changes in these exposures reduce the decline."
