A recent study found that people who work long hours
at their jobs are more prone to developing high blood pressure. Such people may
also experience masked hypertension, a form of concealed high blood pressure
that, as its name implies, is undetectable in a clinical setting. Approximately
half of Americans aged 18 and older in the United States suffer from high blood
pressure, according to Canadian experts. More than 82,000 deaths are attributed
to it each year. Adult Americans in America are affected to a varying extent
(15–30%). Blood pressure that appears to be normal during a checkup but is
actually high is known as "masked high blood pressure." Three public
institutions in Quebec participated in this new study by a Canadian research
team. There were more than 3,500 white-collar employees involved. The general
public typically receives insurance services from these organizations.
Undiagnosed high blood pressure is 70% more common in people who work 49 or more
hours per week. 54 percent of people who work between 41 and 48 hours per week
will develop undiagnosed hypertension. The experts advised people to get
regular blood pressure checks from their doctors if they are working a lot of
hours because doing so can harm their heart health. Should.
