Conclusions 1. People in the following groups more often develop heart disease over time than people who are not subjected to- the specified exposure at work: 1.1. Those with job strain (i.e. experience psychological demands, but lack control of their own working situation); or those who experience...

Those with job strain (i.e. experience psychological demands, but lack control of their own working situation); or those who experience work as mentally stressful; or those who lack control; or those who experience effort-reward imbalance1.2. Those who experience low social support at work; those who experience injustice at work; or those who have insufficient opportunities for personal development; or those who experience job insecurity1.3. Those who work night schedules; or have long working weeks1.4. Those who are exposed to noise 2. People in the following groups more often develop stroke over time than people who are not subjected to the specified exposure at work: 1.1. Those who lack control1.2. Those who have shift-work1.3. Those who are exposed to noise1.4. Those who are exposed to ionizing radiation at work 3. People in the following groups more often develop hypertension over time than people who are not subjected to the specified exposure at work: 1.1. Those who experience job strain (i.e. find their work demanding, but lack control from their working situation); or those who experience effort-reward imbalance1.2. Those who have shift-work 4. Women and men with similar occupational exposures develop cardiovascular disease to the same extent, in relative terms. During the working years, the risk for men to suffer or die acute myocardial infarction or stroke approximately doubles that for women. 1.1. Cardiovascular disease has serious consequences for affected individuals, their families and the society. Prevention has the potential to reduce suffering for the individual and to save resources. This report presents research-based knowledge about occupational exposure and cardiovascular disease that is useful for future interventions in the workplace
