  abstract = {Objectives: A report on Occupational Health in Spain (2006) gives priority to women as a group of particular interest in the study of occupational health. Researchers in the area point out that gender effects on occupational health should cover direct, indirect (mediational) and moderator effects of this variable. The purpose of this paper is therefore to assess the three types of gender effects on health. Method: Research design is a cross-sectional survey of a sample of 191 textile workers from a total population of 320 workers (response rate 59.86%). Results and conclusions: Results show direct effect of gender on health. Although attenuated when risk condition and work position are controlled for, direct effects still remained significant for some health indicators. There was no indirect effect of gender on health and empirical evidence for moderator effects is scarce. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)},
