一日８時間以上働くと心臓病のリスクが80％も増加することが判明

　１９５８年から続く１２の調査と、２２，０００人からなる世界中の被験者によって裏付けされた研究によると、一日８時間以上の労働を起こった場合、心臓病のリスクが８０％増加することがわかりました。研究者は「長時間労働は多くの労働者を心臓病や脳卒中に追いやるだろう」と発表しました。

　今回の分析はフィンランド労働衛生研究所の科学者によるもので、週に４０時間、つまり一日平均８時間ほどしか働かない労働者に比べて、週に４０時間以上働く労働者は４０％～８０％ほど心臓病のリスクが増加するとのことです。増加量にばらつきがあるのは調査方法によって結果に差があるからとのこと。研究リーダーのマリアンナ・ビルタネン博士によると、長時間労働により心臓病リスクが増加するのは“ストレスにされされる時間が長くなる”という理由に加え、長時間労働により食生活が悪化したり、余暇が減るために運動やリラクゼーションの時間が減ることなどが原因とのことです。

　さらに喫煙をすることでも同程度の増加が見られるため、長時間労働をしながら喫煙の習慣のある人はかなり危険な状況にあると言えます。

　また、中年労働者で週に５５時間以上労働する人と、毎日定時通りで週に４０時間しか働かない人とで、短期記憶のテストを行ったところ、長時間働く人はそうでない人に比べてテストの点数が低く、脳機能が低下していることがわかりました。

Cut down on the overtime! Working more than eight hours a day raises the risk of heart disease by 80%

Researchers found spending too long in the workplace resulted in up to 80% greater chance of heart disease
Britain has some of the longest working hours in Europe, averaging out at 42.7 hours a week. Only Austria and Greece have longer

Doing overtime increases the risk of heart disease by up to 80 per cent, a major study has claimed.

Researchers say long working hours could be condemning thousands of employees to heart attacks and strokes.

The warning follows analysis of 12 studies dating back as far as 1958, involving a total of 22,000 people from around the world.

The analysis, by scientists at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, found that those whose working days that were longer than the traditional eight hours had a 40 to 80 per cent greater chance of heart disease.

The size of the increase varied depending on how each study was carried out.

The effects were more pronounced when participants were asked how long they worked for – but when researchers closely monitored working hours, the increased risk of heart disease was closer to 40 per cent.

Lead researcher Dr Marianna Virtanen said the effects could be due to 'prolonged exposure to stress'. Other triggers could be poor eating habits and lack of exercise due to restricted leisure time.

In 2009, the same team discovered that long working hours increased the risk of dementia later in life. The effect was similar in magnitude to that of smoking.

Middle-aged workers putting in 55 hours or more a week had poorer brain function than those clocking up no more than 40 hours, with lower scores on tests to measure intelligence, short-term memory and word recall.

Britons work some of the longest hours in Europe, with full-time employees averaging 42.7 a week. Those in Germany typically work for 42, while Danes do 39.1.

It estimated that more than five million people a year in Britain work unpaid extra hours to hang on to their jobs.

But the long-term toll on workers’ health could be devastating, the new research suggests.

In a report on the findings Dr Virtanen said: ‘There are several potential mechanisms that may underlie the association between long working hours and heart disease.

In addition to prolonged exposure to psychological stress she said other triggers could be raised levels of the stress hormone cortisol, poor eating habits and lack of physical activity due to restricted leisure time.

多分、欧米と日本とでは

心疾患リスクが一緒ではないと思いますが、

働き過ぎは良くないですよ。




かといって、

この不景気。

一体どうしたら良いのでしょう。
