Double Trouble: The Deadly Duo that Doubles Men's Heart Disease Risk
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
A new study on white-collar workers has found that men who experience both job strain and high efforts with low rewards have double the risk of heart disease compared to those who are free of these stressors. The study highlights the need for healthier work environments and interventions to reduce workplace stress. The impact of these stressors on women's heart health was inconclusive. The findings emphasize the importance of addressing psychosocial stressors at work for the well-being of employees and employers. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., and workplace stressors can be as harmful to health as obesity and secondhand smoke.
