Abstract
Work-related stress and health—risks, mechanisms and countermeasures
Highlights
Profound changes occurring in the economic, political, technological, and social landscape have transformed the world
According to Kristensen et al (2) stress is an individual, psychophysiological, and subjective state, characterized by a combination of high arousal and displeasure. In this issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, in line with this definition, Siegrist & Rödel (3) specify stress as a latent construct that indicates a state of elevated activation of the autonomic nervous system with coordinated manifestations at the affective, cognitive, and behavioral levels
The results showed a 43% excess risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) among employees with high job strain
Summary
Profound changes occurring in the economic, political, technological, and social landscape have transformed the world. A review on the association between workhours and health in this issue (8) suggests that night work and shift work are related to a wide range of health effects, the evidence for the risk of cardiovascular morbidity being the strongest.
