Long hours are harmful
leads to a study by the American Heart Association has extended a few hours weekly working time very often to high blood pressure. The investigation of the University of California at Irvine, which was attended by 24 205 adults and that is very meaningful, therefore, showed in detail:
Even with a 40-hour week increases the high blood pressure risk by 14% compared with those between 11 and 39 hours work per week. In a working week 41-50 hours, the risk increases already by 17% and a working week of 51 hours, the risk is already increased by 29%, or almost 1 / 3 more cases of high blood pressure! Other risk factors were equally distributed in all comparison groups, played here not matter.
Another individual results of this study is noteworthy:
was at office workers and unskilled workers found 23% (41-50 hours) and 50% (51 hours), frequent high blood pressure than high-skilled and thus relatively independent working employees at each of the same working hours.
Self-directed work and shorter working hours so protect against high blood pressure, are a good health care!
