C. (Belgium) Organizational level health based cut-off points for psychosocial work environment factors
Unlike benchmarks, cut-off points are health-based reference values and refer to a relevant health outcome. This enables researchers to distinguish between positive and negative effects on health. Group level cut-off points should be used in an organizational context. From a preventive point of view the use of an early indicator of reduced well-being is indicated. The aim of this study of191 organizations (26558 subjects) was to determine cut-off points on an organizational level based on the prevalence of high need for recovery.

D. (Türkiye) Association between psychosocial risks and eating quality and physical activity
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, prompting extensive research. While direct association between psychosocial risk (PSR)/eating habits to CVD has generated significant attention, the interplay between psychosocial risk and eating habits remains relatively unexplored. The current cross sectional study explores the intricate interplay between these two variables while also delving into the relationship between psychosocial risks and physical activity among a sample of 260 medical staff members from Burns and Plastic Surgery Hospital in Tripoli, Libya.
