LONDON, Jan. 24 -- Just how job stress harms the heart appears to be via direct effects on neuroendocrine pathways and through indirect effects on health behaviors, researchers here found.
In an analysis of the long-running Whitehall II study of British civil servants, cumulative work stress was found to be a risk factor for coronary heart disease and neuroendocrine stress responses, particularly among younger office workers, reported Tarani Chandola, D.Phil., of University College London, and colleagues online in the European Heart Journal.
