White Deer video report, according to incomplete statistics often overtime young people accounted for nearly 80%, recently someone in Beijing late return to the subway to talk to young people why overtime? Some people say that they can work after work; some people say that they have to work hard for the house and children; some people think that it is better to work overtime subsidies in the company alone...
In the current workplace environment of performance determinism, many people are either active or forced to stick to the office every day, in fact, the misfortune of sudden death by overtime is often reported in the news.
Today, let's talk to you, how much does it have to do with overtime and illness?
Working overtime for 3 hours a day, the risk of coronary heart disease is 1.6 times higher
A team from the UK followed up with 6,014 full-time civil servants, and all of the subjects had coronary heart disease at the start of the study.
The researchers investigated their sudden death from coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and angina during an average of 11 years of follow-up. After excluding sociodemographic factors, they found that working 3 to 4 hours a day increased the risk of coronary heart disease by 1.6 times.
People who are very healthy on the surface, coronary heart disease may not be far away...
Specifically, married, cohabiting husband and wife, and high professional status are often more likely to become model workers who do not leave work. But curiously, on the face of it, these people tend to live healthier lives:
- There is generally no history of diabetes
- People who do not work overtime tend to pay more attention to eating "healthy foods" such as fruits and vegetables
- Exercise harder
- Sick leave is also rare
However, these "healthy habits" did not keep them away from coronary heart disease.
The reason for this is that this group of people tends to:
- There are vices of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- And they don't get enough sleep
- The incidence of depression and scores were higher on the Type A personality test
- The amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood is low
So what is the mechanism that links overtime to the occurrence of coronary heart disease?
Be in a "combat state" for a long time!
The researchers found that coronary heart disease in overtime people does not appear to be caused by risk factors in the traditional sense (e.g., smoking, dyslipidemia). Autonomic dysfunction and elevated blood pressure may play a more important role.
1. High-intensity working environment
Due to the long-term high-intensity, fast-paced working environment, overtime workers often have excessive activation of sympathetic nerves, that is, they always maintain a "fight state", and "going with the flow" is always unbearable. Sympathetic activation will undoubtedly raise blood pressure, inhibit the vagus nerve, and bring about a vicious circle of "can't stop".
2. Anxiety and depression
These people appear to be super capable and independent on the surface, but behind their backs, they silently endure the negative psychological torture of anxiety and depression, and their strong personality makes them reluctant to choose to talk, resulting in environmental pressure accumulating more and more on them, when the last straw appears, the heart may suffer, and may even suffer sudden death.
