The lifestyle we live greatly impacts our health. Our eating habits, levels of physical activity and dependence on substances contribute to our overall well-being. But, did you know? Recent research shows that some career paths are proving to be more harmful to women’s heart health than others.
In this blog, we look at a number of different studies that have been conducted to support the aforementioned statement.
Managers
Let’s begin with a study conducted in Japan where women in managerial positions, from any industry, faced a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases than others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have deemed the reasons for these occupations being a health hazard. Some potential reasons could be the stress of day-to-day management of a team of varying and oftentimes clashing personalities. It could be juggling of the schedules of these personalities along with your own. Or it could be working for un-Godly hours and having to train cattle into corporates!
Social Workers
Through a Women’s Health Initiative study, researchers gathered the data of more than 65,000 women with an average age of 63 who had already experienced menopause. They studied this data on the basis of smoking status, weight, physical activity, nutrition, cholesterol, and blood pressure to find a potential association between heart health status and occupation.
The result of this study showed that women who performed social work were 36% more likely to face heart health issues. This may possibly be due to the harsh realities they have to witness and face on a daily basis. The trauma of others may cause stress to those with an empathetic heart.
