医学研究已经发现，来自工作的这种长期压力与心脏病和代谢综合征均有关联。此次伦敦大学学院医学院的埃里克•布伦纳及其同事发现，上班族的工作压力越大，他们变得肥胖的可能性也越大。 - c' H4 p/ @3 M
; k4 b7 J. J4 D4 O3 F- F, j 研究人员共对6895名男性和3413名女性进行了长达19年的跟踪调查，被调查者在调查开始时的年龄在35岁至55岁之间。调查过程中，这些人会定期提交有关工作压力大小的调查问卷。结果发现，那些至少在3次问卷中表示自己工作压力大的人，比从未感觉工作有压力者的肥胖可能性要大73%。 ; Z3 P% c' r3 h2 t. q

Burner and his team followed 6,895 men and 3,413 women for 19 years. All were 35 to 55 years old at the study's outset. Men and women who reported job strain on at least three occasions were 73% more likely to become obese than those who never said they were stressed on the job. 6 H' H6 p& f6 N% c; K
