Work Hours, Musculoskeletal Disorders and CVD Risk.

PB2012105519

Publication Date	2006
Personal Author	Landsbergis, P.
Page Count	177
Abstract	This research program, which included four studies, was designed to examine the impact of long work hours and other job stressors on blood pressure (BP), cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). CVD is the number one cause of illness and death in the U.S., and high blood pressure is a common and powerful risk factor for CVD. Work-related MSDs, such as low back pain, tendinitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome, account for a large proportion of the cost of work-related illness in the U.S.
