| Annotation | A Danish study of more than 12000 nurses indicates that pressure in the workplace can increase the risk of heart disease in women under the age of 50, but not in those aged between 50 and 65, as other factors become more important in determining the risk. This short article summarises findings of a 15-year follow-up cohort study started in 1993, led by Karen Allese of the Research Centre for Prevention and Health, Glostrup University Hospital, and published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2010, vol 37, pp 319-322; doi: 10.1136/oem.2008.043091).
