How Your Work Might Hurt Your Heart...
Dear Reader,
When it comes to the risks for heart disease, we may soon be adding over-long workdays to the list. There's a new bit of research, conducted on office workers in England by a team at University College London, that found those who worked more hours than their peers had a much higher risk of having a heart attack.
Those who worked 11 hour or longer days were 67% more likely to develop heart disease than those who worked the more common 7 to 8 hours a day.
Besides upping the risk of heart disease, long workdays also puts some into a whole other category of risk according to the researchers. We know that work hours in the U.S. exceed most of Europe and Japan.
Associate chief of cardiology at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, suggests that many things could account for the increase in risk for those who work long hours. Clearly this type of schedule doesn't allow much time for exercise. More time at the office also means you're exposed to more stress for longer periods, and get less time for sleep and relaxation
The research on work hours and heart health followed 7,100 British civil servants from 1991 to 2004 who were considered a low risk population and screened for signs of heart disease.
The participants reported on how much time they spent at the office or worked on things at home. About 70% of the subjects were men and 91% were white. Almost 2.7% developed heart disease by the end of the study period.
Time at the office is increasingly becoming a subject for research, and adding this into the Framingham risk score, a way to gauge heart disease risk, that includes data like age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking status allowed for reclassifying patients considered low risk about 4.7% of the time.
So if a patient was considered low risk according to the Framingham score alone, they might be moved into a higher risk category just by working those long hours at the office on a regular basis.

How Your Work Might Hurt Your Heart... Continued...
The type of work may also be a factor. Those who have little sense of control
or power to make decisions on the job have an increased risk of heart disease.
Long hours on the job are more common than ever before, and this very well might
increase the odds of heart disease, though study co-author Mika Kivimaki cautions
this work does not show cause and effect. Earlier studies in both Japan and Europe
has echoed the finding of the English study, and provides new information for
doctors regarding lifestyle suggestions they might make to their patients.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women.
And while men in their 40s have a higher risk than women, after menopause a woman's
risk rises to nearly that of men.
Genetics also play a role, and while you can't do anything about this, or turn
back the clock on any health conditions (diabetes, metabolic syndrome) you already
have, you can make changes to your lifestyle, including cutting the long hours
on the job, that might help keep your heart healthier.
The study appears in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
To your good health,
