Quebec, Canada: A new study recently found that work stress in men can have a very negative effect on their heart health.
A study of nearly 6,500 workers found that men who felt habitually stressed at work had twice the risk of heart disease compared to their co-workers who were more satisfied with their work.
The research also found that in some cases this stress has taken the form of “job stress,” meaning that workers are under pressure to perform but are unable to perform their jobs. But have very limited authority.
Another major problem is the feeling of not getting anything in return despite the performance in the office. It happens when employees feel that their hard work is not being rewarded either in terms of salary or promotion.
The study found that men who reported any type of job stress were nearly 50 percent more likely to develop heart disease over the next 18 years than men who were satisfied with their jobs.
