Job Strain and Cardiovascular Disease
{"Image DocumentName": "Job Strain and Cardiovascular Disease", "Image ImageDescription": "Body of evidence suggests relationship between job strain and cardiovascular mortality. Main associations are with exposure to high psychological demands and low control over job. Professional drivers (especially urban transport) have the most consistent evidence of increased risk. A body of work in recent years has demonstrated associations between job strain and mortality form cardiovascular disease. Studies in this area are complicated by difficulties in exposure assessment and control of confounding variables, but indicate that high psychological demands, coupled to low control over work (low autonomy) may be contributory. Urban transit drivers have the most consistent evidence of high risk for ischemic heart disease and hypertension, and there appears to be a risk gradient based on intensity of traffic in the work setting.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
