"This was unexpected. Further research is needed to explore this finding," said Descatha, who works as researcher at Paris Hospital, Versailles and Angers University and at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm).
She further said that many healthcare providers work much more than the definition of long working hours and may also be at higher risk of stroke. As a clinician, I will advise my patients to work more efficiently and I plan to follow my own advice," Descatha said.
Previous studies have noted a smaller effect of long work hours among business owners, CEOs, farmers, professionals and managers, according to the American Heart Association. This might be because those groups generally have greater decision latitude than other workers, researchers believe.
In addition, other studies have suggested that irregular shifts, night work and job strain may be responsible for unhealthy work conditions.
