Long Working Hours Linked to Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases

Reported 8 months ago

According to Dr. Huang Xuan, a man who exercised daily and ate healthily almost ended up in the ICU due to cardiovascular disease, with the root cause believed to be his long working hours leading to insufficient rest, lack of sleep, and high stress levels. Research suggests that working 55 hours or more per week increases the risk of stroke by 35% and ischemic heart disease by 17%. Dr. Huang emphasized that prolonged working hours contribute to higher stress hormone levels, increasing the risk of various diseases and mortality, particularly among older individuals in the Asia-Pacific region.
