Stroke Rounds: Long Work Hours, Stroke and CHD Risk Associated | Medpage Today

One could argue for causation given the strength of association identified by this study. Common sense tells us that anyone working more than 60 hours a week is going to have considerably less time for other activities like exercise and time with family and friends. Long hours working also can lead to neglect of one’s health.
