Cardiovascular experts have long predicted that connection between emotional stress and risk of cardiovascular disease due to various factors, such as smoking, unhealthy diet, and lifestyle that dominated by sitting behind a desk. The study, done by the Sociedad de Prevencion de Ibermutuamur, in collaboration with experts from the Virgen de la Victoria Hospital, Malaga and Santiago de Compostela University, analyzed the relationship between job stress and a variety of different parameters associated with how the fatty acid digested in the body.
In that study, a team of scientists took population sample of more than 90 thousand workers who perform medical check-ups. "The workers who expressed difficulty in their work during the past year (8.7 percent of the sample) had a higher risk of suffering from dyslipidemia," said Carlos Catalina, a work stress and clinical psychologist.
Dyslipidemia is disorders of lipoprotein metabolism that can be seen in the increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins (LDL), in addition to a decrease in "good" cholesterol (HDL). In the research also showed that workers who experience stress at risk of having levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) is unusually high, and very low on HDL level, which could potentially clog the arteries.
"One of the mechanisms that can explain the relationship between stress and cardiovascular risk is a change in fat or lipid profile, which means the higher the accumulation of atheromatous plaques in our arteries," said Catalina. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCEDAILY | TJANDRA DEWI | KORAN TEMPO 4235]
