Eleonor I. Fransson,Magdalena Stadin,Maria Nordin,Dan Malm,Anders Knutsson,Lars Alfredsson,Peter Westerholm +6 more
TL;DR: Support is provided to the hypothesis that work-related stress defined as job strain is linked to an increased risk of AF by pointing towards a dose-response relationship when taking accumulated exposure to job strain over time into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there an association between shift work and having a metabolic syndrome? Results from a population based study of 27 485 people
TL;DR: Obesity, high triglycerides, and low concentrations of HDL cholesterol seem to cluster together more often in shift workers than in day workers, which might indicate an association between shift work and the metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings suggest that prevention of workplace stress might decrease disease incidence; however, this strategy would have a much smaller effect than would tackling of standard risk factors, such as smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep disturbances, work stress and work hours: A cross-sectional study
Torbjörn Åkerstedt,Anders Knutsson,Peter Westerholm,T Theorell,Lars Alfredsson,Göran Kecklund +5 more
TL;DR: Stress and the social situation at work are strongly linked to disturbed sleep and impaired awakening, that gender and, even more so, age may modify this and that the inability to stop worrying about work during free time may be an important link in the relation between stress and sleep.
