Abstract in brief

  • The review explores how long working hours may increase the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), using data from various studies to estimate how many deaths and disability years are linked to extended work hours.
  • The researchers compared different categories of long working hours (more than 41, 49, and 55 hours per week) with standard hours (35-40 hours) to assess their impact on the prevalence, incidence, and mortality of IHD.
  • They conducted a comprehensive search of multiple scientific databases and grey literature, focusing on studies involving working adults aged 15 and older from different countries, to gather reliable evidence on this health risk.

So, for people who like this stuff: this is one of the SRs I have been talking about which reports its success rate in retrieving data from the authors of the included studies. Only 4/11 didn't respond; mostly partial success achieved. More coming. 10.1016/j.envint.2020.105739

4/4 #3 and #4 are the first two SRs from the WHO ILO Global Burden of Disease from Occupational Exposures series. These two find (I believe for the first time) that long working hours is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. https://t.co/hv3KT4BSFh https://t.co/5S3ytZeyTd

@m_schlussel Actually, this one managed 4/11 responses, though data provided tended to be partial (if my read of "the authors supplied what they could" is correct - with hindsight, I'd have asked for clarification) https://t.co/hv3KT4BSFh

長時間労働が虚血性心疾患に与える影響 週55時間以上では発症が13%、死亡は17%増加する ちなみに医師の4割弱は週50時間以上勤務しているようです https://t.co/pRzTkk1MV3

@MetaEvidence Here is one of the SRs I'm talking about. I think every one in the series will provide the data (it's something I talked to the authors about). https://t.co/hv3KT4BSFh

OK, so here is the first SR in the series which reports how much data they were able to get from authors of primary studies. Mostly partial retrieval, only 4/11 non-responders. 10.1016/j.envint.2020.105739
