Risk of Stroke Increases With IncreasedJob Stress

In a meta-analytic study out of China, people with high stress jobs had a 22% higher risk of stroke than those with low-stress jobs. Women with high-stress jobs had a 33% higher risk of stroke than women with low-stress jobs.Those with high-stress jobs were 58% more likely to have an ischemic stroke than those with low-stress jobs. People with passive (janitors,miners, other manual laborers) and active (doctors,teachers,engineers)did NOT have an increased risk of stroke.
  High stress jobs were found in the service industry (waitresses,nurses aides).
