研究表明:加班過頻易患心臟病

People who work three hours or more of overtime per day run a 60-percent higher risk of bad heart problems compared to those who work regular hours, a study published in the European Heart Journal said.

一項研究發現，每天加班3個小時以上的人罹患心臟病的機率比正常下班的人高出60%。研究結果刊登在《歐洲心臟病學》雜誌上。

The findings came from a long-term research project into 6,014 British civil servants aged 39-61, two-thirds of whom were men, who had healthy hearts at the start of the probe in the early 1990s.

這一發現來自一個長期研究項目，研究人員對英國6014名公務員進行了調查，他們的年齡介於39歲至61歲之間，其中三分之二爲男性。他們在上世紀90年代初調查研究開始時都擁有健康的心臟。

At an 11-year monitoring point, 369 of the volunteers had either died of coronary heart disease (CHD) or had had a non-fatal heart attack or angina.

在監測11年後，其中369名志願者不是死於冠心病，就是曾出現非致命的心臟病發作或心絞痛。

After accounting for risk factors such as smoking, overweight and high cholesterol, doctors found that working between three and four hours of overtime each day was associated with a 60 percent greater risk compared to those who did no overtime.

除了吸菸、體重過重和膽固醇高等危險因素外，醫生們發現，每天加班三四個小時的人罹患心臟病的機率比不加班的人高出60%。
