Overworked: New research has found that those who work 11-hour days or more increase their chance of a heart attack by two thirds If you’re about to embark on your usual 12-hour day at the office, you might want to pause a while – a few hours, actually. A study has found that those who spend more than 11 hours at work increase their chance of having a heart attack by two thirds.
沉溺在職場中，終年暗無天日搏命的職場白領們又要注意了，雖然已經了解到了很多“養生小常識”，比如：綠茶抗癌、如何防止中風等等，但是下面一個數字可以又算是給已經“雪上加霜”的白領們當頭一棒：專家發現，每日工作超過11小時，患心臟病的風險增加67%！也就是說，每日倘若超過11小時工作，有三分之二的工作狂們有可能“提前”進入心臟病患者的行列。
The team from University College London looked at more than 7,000 civil servants working in Whitehall over a period of 11 years and established how many hours they worked on average a day. They also collected information including the condition of their heart from medical records and health checks. Over the period, a total of 192 had suffered a heart attack. But the study, published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, found that those who worked more than 11 hours a day were 67 per cent more likely to have one than those who had a ‘nine to five’ job.
這組研究數字并不是草草得出的結論，據悉，英國倫敦大學學院的研究團隊對7000名在“白廳（英國）”工作的“英國公務員”進行了長達11年的跟蹤觀察，專家們研究他們平均每日工作需要多少時間，從而和他們的健康狀況做出相應的聯系，專家們還對他們的心臟狀況做了相應的記錄。在長達11年的時間中，總共有192名被實驗者經歷過心臟病，或者有過心臟病的“體驗”。在《內科醫學的雜志年報》上，專家們統計出了驚人的數據，那些工作長達11小時，或者超過11小時的公務員，有67%或者更多有可能患上心臟病。這個工作時間是與那些擁有著“朝九晚五”工作的人相比的。
