Abstract in brief

  • This study found that experiencing high levels of workplace discrimination increases the risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure) among US workers over time.
  • Researchers used data from a large US cohort and showed that those facing more discrimination had a higher hazard (risk) of hypertension, even after adjusting for other factors.
  • The findings suggest that discrimination at work can negatively impact cardiovascular health, highlighting the importance of policies to reduce workplace discrimination for better public health outcomes.]
