Heart Risk and Overtime Work

Working overtime may be linked to heart risks.
The Los Angeles Times (5/11, Mestel) "Booster Shots" blog reported that working overtime may be bad for one's heart, according to a study published in the European Heart Journal. The "study looked at 6,014...men and women, tracking their health for an average of 11 years."
Bloomberg News (5/11, Hallam) reported that researchers found that "people who added three or more hours to a seven-hour day had a 60 percent greater risk of heart attack, angina, and death from cardiovascular disease than those with no overtime work."
