Long working hours may increase risk of coronary heart disease.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between long working hours and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) estimated by Framingham risk score (FRS) in Korean adults. METHODS This study evaluated adult participants in Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV (2007-2009). After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, the final sample size for this study model was 8,350. ...
متن کاملLong Working Hours and Coronary Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The authors aggregated the results of observational studies examining the association between long working hours and coronary heart disease (CHD). Data sources used were MEDLINE (through January 19, 2011) and Web of Science (through March 14, 2011). Two investigators independently extracted results from eligible studies. Heterogeneity between the studies was assessed using the I(2) statistic, a...
متن کاملPhysicians' ability to predict the risk of coronary heart disease
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Previous research examining physicians ability to estimate cardiovascular risk has shown that physicians' generally overestimate the absolute risk of CHD events. This question has, however, only studied risk prediction for a limited number of patient care scenarios. The aim of this study is to measure th...
متن کاملSummary estimates of cholesterol used to predict coronary heart disease.
The relationships of total cholesterol and the proportion of cholesterol in individual lipoprotein classes to coronary heart disease are complex. To help simplify these relationships, cholesterol values are often combined into one summary estimate to form a single risk factor with a relationship to disease that is more easily described. Although summary estimates result in convenient expression...
متن کاملUsing GRAPHICAL-BELIEF to predict risk of Coronary Artery Disease
Medical knowledge about risks consists of a combination of structural information about known biological facts and probabilistic or actuarial information about exposures to hazards and recovery rates. While both types of information present significant practical challenges, probabilistic information is especially difficult to use because (1) it requires constant maintenance as new studies provi...
