John Yarnell,Tarani Chandola,Annie Britton,Eric J. Brunner,Harry Hemingway,Marek Malik,Meena Kumari,Ellena Badrick,Mika Kivimäki,Michael Marmot +9 more
TL;DR: Chronic work stress may be an important determinant of CHD among working-age populations, which is mediated through indirect effects on health behaviours and direct effects on neuroendocrine stress pathways.

Silvia Stringhini,Paola Zaninotto,Meena Kumari,Mika Kivimäki,Camille Lassale,George David Batty +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that disadvantage across the life course is linked to cardiovascular mortality in a population-based cohort of older individuals living in England, and behavioural factors and inflammatory markers partially explain this gradient.
