This prospective cohort study, known as the Whitehall II study, involving 6123 male and female London civil servants was aimed at investigating whether perceived justice at work protected against incident metabolic syndrome. A questionnaire was used to assess perceived justice at work on two occasions between 1985 and 1990. Cox proportional model analysis revealed that men who experienced high level of justice at work had a lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome than those with a low level of justice. Contrarily, in women, there was little evidence for an association between organizational justice and metabolic syndrome development or that of its individual components.
