Canadian scientists from the University of Quebec examined the impact of working conditions on heart health. They concluded that the combination of stressful situations and low reward for work performed increased the risk of cardiovascular disease in men by 49%.

“Given the significant portion of time people spend at work, understanding the relationship between work stressors and cardiovascular health is critical to public health and employee well-being,” said the study’s lead author, Mathilde Lavigne-Robichaud, MD.
